The body was subject of important philosophical studies during twenty century. Focusing on its inability to determine identity, the new approach considers body as a symbolic construction that goes beyond the physical world where multiple representation systems takes place. This work analyzes Leandro Katz’s (1938) installation through his singular exploration of the relation among death, body and photography. Based on the intervention of the images by a textual element this essay examines modes in which body produces and recovers senses of its own potency.
