La violencia representada

Pensar la violencia colombiana a partir de imágenes fotográficas

Abstract

This paper is an analysis produced from a corpus of images, from the series of photos “NN” of the Colombian artist Juan Manuel Echavarría, and about two emblematic images of the Colombian political violence. The work of Juan Manuel Echavarría has twenty-three photographs of 60x50 cm, in which "body parts" of what seems to be porcelain dolls are exposed. This analysis is trying to use the photographic art as a narration from the artist, but it is really narrated by the observer who gives sense, pretending to problematize the production of violence and the production of violent images.
