A experiência do homem comum na fotografia de rua contemporânea

Abstract

The experience of the common man resurfaces in contemporary photography through a renewed interest in the daily life of the city streets. Recently, a new generation of photographers is turning back to the common man's everyday life questioning, through its new  figurations, the proper role of photography as a record and as art. We are interested in thinking how Philip Lorca diCorcia's street photos, which are present in StreetWorks (1993-1998) and Heads (1999-2001), may reflect some of the challenges that contemporary photography proposes in the field of art.
