Abstract

This research discusses the looks of a blind person on the city mediated by photography. The photography dialogues with the context of its enunciation, contributing to tension the ways of living/seeing the world. The data collection was done in three moments: 1) interview with the person we researched; 2) walk with him/her through the city to produce the pictures; 3) a meeting to describe and discuss the produced pictures. The results indicated that blindness enables people to see with the eyes of others and with all the body, causing him/her to use, to build mental images, the verbal language, imagination, memory and thought, along with other senses. It was concluded that the photographic narrative produced enabled aesthetics looks on the everyday life and other senses for the relations with the city, and this inventive condition is what characterizes it as in(ter)vention.
