The visible and the invisible of image in Bavcar:

considerations and inversions about the pictoric visible and the textual invisible

Abstract

This analysis proposes the development of the concept of image that calls for problematizing the fields of the visible and the invisible. Through the work of photographer Evgen Bavcar, the possibilities of expression and relationship between images and things that are pointed out in the world are discussed, in addition to the mere idea of representation or of a real reality that would exist as pure materiality. The text goes on to highlight the intrinsic possibilities of relationship between the word and the image and how territories of communication, reception and exchange between visually impaired perceptions and oculocentric perceptions are opened. It is about proposing a type of communication, expressed by a post-image, in which visual impairment is perceived as a possibility of opening up to other world readings, other sensitivities and perceptions. A way of inserting the visually impaired opens up, through exchanges and communications between perceptions of the visible and the invisible.
