Minimum stocks: drawings from a look there. The practices of a body without organs

Abstract

We seek to promote some notes around the issue raised by Deleuze and Guattari about a body-without organs. This concept is inspired by the work of Antonin Arthaud and denies the pressure of an organized body. As there are multiple ways to “answer” this call, we call on Fernand Deligny's ethical-political-aesthetic materialism.It is the photographic experience of Zazu, an eight-year-old “autistic” boy, who does not use verbal language. We mapped Zazu's experiences with the camera. Zazu's images lead us to reflect on how we reacted to this whirlwind of cliché images. For Zazu, there is no command. He (re) creates his body, his time, his image. His images disrupt our speeches about highly representativethings and beings; there is, in his photographs, the power of cutting the whole into parts and retaining the ephemeral, a vague look, a look that shifts the self-body to the “asymmetric” body, body-without organs full of a “look there. .. ”
