Subjective photography, Fotoform, La Carpeta de los Diez, AfalAbstract
After World War II, several photography groups started gathering both in Europe and in Latin America, bringing together elements from humanist photography, mainly developed in France, in Italy and in the United States, and from German subjective photography. Many of these groups had similar purposes and characteristics, within a time in which photography as art was seeking its autonomous status through specific methods and scope. This work explores the influence the German group Fotoform, and the precepts of subjective photography provided by Otto Steinert, had over the photography groups Afal from Spain and La Carpeta de los Diez from Argentina.Downloads
