Editorial

Abstract

This new issue of INMÓVIL is aimed at a tempting theme: photographing the invisible. The idea is not original to the editorial team; on the contrary, it has been talked about many times. The sociological perspective has analyzed how photography - fixed or moving - collects what society does not want to see and prefers to leave hidden; anthropology, for its part, has analyzed how the author's gaze, his culture and his values ​​are portrayed as much or more than the reality captured in his photographs; Poetics has already proposed that photography shows precisely what is not there, what is not visible in the here and now; Formal film studies have extensively analyzed the tension created by the off-field -that space that is not visible but that we know is there- since when putting in a frame, rather than discarding what is not there, it becomes more present. All these perspectives - and many others - allow us to enter into the complexity and enigma of photography.
