Lévi-Strauss et la Photographie



In 1935, Claude Lévi-Strauss accepted the postion of Professor of Sociology at São Paulo in Brazil. During that year and the one that followed, he carried out several ethnographic expeditions during which he focussed on photographing the places that he saw and the people that he met. Here are some of those taken amongst the Amazonian Bororo and Caduveo. In each case, the editions are made on barium paper.

Lorem Ipsum

"All testing, all confirmation and disconfirmation of a hypothesis takes place already within a system. And this system is not a more or less arbitrary and doubtful point of departure for all our arguments; no it belongs to the essence of what we call an argument. The system is not so much the point of departure, as the element in which our arguments have their life."
- Wittgenstein
