Abstract

Within the current context of photographic installations, the investment of some artists is outstanding on renovation of languages and aesthetics which count on the quotidian as a strategy of experience. Amidst an overproduction of daily-life images in large cities, of several common places and trivial scenes recently presented at art institutions, the conditions for an aesthetic experience seem, in principle, as precarious as the opportunity of “an experience” in common life. The objective of this article is to analyze the relations between quotidian and experience based on works by Jeff Wall and Philip-Lorca diCorsia taking into consideration the challenges presented by photography in contemporaneous art.
