Diário de Lesboafetos: uma escrita fotográfica de si

Abstract

This paper is a result of reflections about an artistic-photographic process that is articulated to a personal writing. I substantiate this report and recreate a diary along with familiar images that are in the memory archived in photographs, organizing the photographic records that inaugurate the notion of intimacy in my work. On the urgency to comprehend and to deepen this personal discourse in the field of Visual Arts, I invite some artists to reflect on female production, especially in the language of Photography, like: Francesca Woodman, Sophie Calle and Nan Goldin, that collaborate with my authorial work, mainly for the extension and recognition of their works in autobiographical dimension and for the meaning of their poetics of intimacy. In the theoretical framework, I quote authors like Michele Perrot, Margareth Rago, Lucia Facco, Luciana Lyra and fundamentally Luana Saturnino Tvardovskas as a reference in the study of feminist and autobiographical artistic processes. This process unfolds in a writing in the scheme of a dissertational diary or a poetical dissertation articulated to the production of photographic reports and homoerotic visual narratives, resulting in the Diary of Lesbian affectivity.
