Summary: The text seeks to identify the work of contemporary photographer Jeff Wall as a break from formalist reductionism in a diachronic approach and ontological
reductionism in a synchronic approach to classical photography. The staged
and mnemic photograph of the Canadian promotes an inflection in the
Bresonian "decisive instant" and the "that was" Barthesian. The unfolding of this inflection has repercussions on the status of photography itself. Due to its way of elaboration this photograph takes the relative dexanation of the referent of reality thus creating another scene that includes the metaphor and the selfreflection.
Keywords: Jeff Wall; reductionism; classic photography; staged photography;
metaphor.
