WORLD VERNISSAGE: VISUAL-ANTHROPOLOGICAL STUDY
It’s about blurring the boundaries of documentary and artistic photography. The difference of time, which we experience today, is that the documentation often serves as documentation of the same document, or otherwise, it works with the image of the document. The symptoms that we find in all spheres of science, politics, economics. In the Humanities the Sciences appear more related with the dimension of the images subjects: visual anthropology, visual sociology, visual ecology. Symptomatic in this context is the attempt of historians of philosophy to work with images of ancient philosophers, the interest in visualizing the categories of education, to everyday photos.
Keywords: vernissage, visual anthropology, visual ecology, documentation, expression body, gesture, portrait
