Abstract

This essay intends to understand the allure that the photograph provides while of memory. Sight as double of the real, the photograph is presented as the real reproduced. As a copy that has the power to appropriate of the real represented for the fixed definition of its action, this is, as a past in revelation for who it observes. The photograph seems, then, to carry through its utopia of producer of the memory.
