Pensar a transparência, refletir a opacidade: Tautologia e transitividade na série Hoppe, de Mariano Klautau Filho

This article seeks to reflect upon the double paradigm of transparency and opacity with the photographic series Hoppe, by Mariano Klautau Filho. It presents some of the broad meanings of these concepts as a basis to analyzing the reflexive quality the photographs’ framing (their apparent refusal to transparency, the implication of the gaze in their materiality) and the texture of time inherent to its images – for this purpose, we mobilize the concepts of between-the-images and time montage.
