| Sumario: | The essay suggests an aesthetic consideration about the contemporary representation of social and economic precariousness. The analysis focuses on three contemporary photographs by Tom Hunter (Woman Reading a Possession Order), Jeff Wall (Insomnia) and Andreas Gursky (Nha Trang Vietnam): the photographs reveal a sophisticated formal construction. Hunter, Wall and Gursky share an interest in the forme tableau dominant during the 1990s in the art photography, nevertheless they deal with the subject in a personal way. Tom Hunter shows the social precariousness by a sacralization of the everyday life and a learned reference to the Vermeer’s pictorial representation. Jeff Wall works on the precariousness and the everyday life as subject and as medium at the same time: the reflexivity is the main notion in the critique theory of Wall. Finally, Andreas Gursky produces an abstract picture of global and social precariousness. |
