This article pursues the idea of an Imaginary Documentary – a possible new inflexion on the practices of contemporary documental photography. The text establishes its theoretical foundations through a forthcoming approach of the discussions about documental photography to the concept of imaginary, by Gilbert Durand, and the notion of Imaginary Museum, by André Malraux. Photographers that are part of documental photography history are the elected objects in which we shall confront the potentialities of the Imaginary Documentary.
