Descrizione
Riassunto:The present text proposes the analysis of a series of negatives captured by the immigrant photographer Peter Scheier (1908-1979) in Israel, in 1959, at the request of the newspaper Diário de São Paulo. Currently part of the collection of the Instituto Moreira Salles, those negatives are analyzed considering two main analytical perspectives. The first one concerns the cosmopolitan background and the professional experiences of the photographer within the multicultural environments both in Central Europe and America, in the cultural conjuncture of the 1920s through the 1960s. The second approach is founded on Siegfried Kracauer’s elaborations on the idea of photography as a “frontier of yesterday”, as well as the understanding of the space of the photographer as the space of the foreigner.
