This work tries to observe the construction of the photographic power in an iconic picture realized by Wilhem Brasse in 1940. Priosioner Photographer in Auschwitz during the years 1940-1944, Brasse took more than 45,000 photos in identification style. In Jan Komski’s photo, the work of posture and figurability face a dialectic of testimony that stands in wait for a better, future counter-plan. We work here with the relationality of the photo in a double aspect: the act of imposing on the image an attempt to subjection to the negative holotype, and the work of the photographer in extreme conditions. The article concludes that artistic reinscription and visual consumption entwine the photograph, seventy years later, in an attempt to press an art ethic and an aesthetic of the episode.Downloads
