Mobile and street photography, a post-photographic experience

Abstract

For more than a century, photography with an argenic basis has sustained all contemporary thought and also the field of theories that approached this language as well as its researchers and artists. In addition to the classic aspects that involved the discussions that guided schools that studied the phenomena of image, the photographic industry based its entire production on techniques and practices that originated in the 19th century. It seemed clear that photography as an artistic expression and a job, would keep its origin with the advancement of new technologies and would also support its praxis in the seminal formats already placed in the middle of the 19th century. Just as theories tend to be adequate or refuted, with the advent of the unbridled advancement of digital process systems, with each new innovation in this universe a new meaning was taking place and a new photograph was taking its place and leading the way. This article discusses the consolidation of a new photograph, classified and named by some theorists as post-photography (BARCELLOS, 2020; FONTCUBERTA, 2016) as well as its applicability in the world of sociability networks, as pointed out by researchers working on the subject (MANOVITCH, 2017 ) and their insertion in street records.
