André Bazin, automatism, Avant-garde, photography theory, ontology of the photographic imageAbstract
This article aims to construct an interpretation of the concept of automatism introduced by André Bazin in the essay Ontology of the Photographic Image, using as a privileged comparative framework the historical avant-gardes and their notion of automatic procedure. The objective of this work consists in developing a reading of Bazin's theory of photographic arts that is capable of recognizing in his critical interventions a set of concerns shared by the tradition of the avant-garde regarding automatic creation.
