Bernardo Croce, Argentina, amateurism, stereoscopy, PhotographyAbstract
A few years ago, a collection of five thousand stereoscopic glass plates from the early 20th century was found in Buenos Aires. It belonged to late Bernardo Croce, an Argentine doctor and amateur photographer. The images, produced within the framework of family life, bourgeois leisure and world travel, are historically inscribed in the beginnings of the massification of photography and, at the same time, in the specificity of the stereoscopic system as a late vulgarization of the epistemological reformulation of the status of vision in the 19th century. This article proposes to reflect, on the phenomenon of stereoscopy and its links with art, photomechanical representation and mass culture, as well as some methodological problems raised by this type of object in relation to its patrimonialization.Downloads
