Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Abstract

José Domingo Laso Acosta show the main tourist landscape of the Quito in 1911. However, through interventions in the negatives and photographic retouches, Laso literally erased the presence of the Indian from the city scene. Through the concept of bare life (Agamben), the relationship between art, politics and Law in Laso’s photography is analyzed: photography as an iconographic correlate of the sovereign view.
