Resumen
Durante mucho tiempo la historia del arte occidental se ha centrado en lecturas basadas en signos. En las últimas décadas, teorías basadas en el afecto y la encarnación han comenzado a desafiar este ocularcentrismo al incluir el cuerpo del espectador como parte de la ecuación. Este artículo se centrará en la serie Swerve (2009) de la artista neozelandesa Caroline McQuarrie (1975-), en la que altera fotografías vernáculas tomadas de sus álbumes familiares al coser directamente en el papel fotográfico, creando un juego de hilos, papel e imagen. Realizaré una lectura de esta pieza que se nutre de algunas aproximaciones teóricas a la fotografía familiar,artesanías y la función del afecto y la encarnación en otros medios, con el fin de investigar cómo pueden ser entendidos estos objetos cuando se los lee tanto a la luz del significado como a la luz del sentimiento.
