Abstract

This article is based on the matter of the double applied to reading a photograph, especially a portrait. Such an imprisoned image acquires projection quality and becomes concious, playing
the role of an autonomous entity which survives the subject who grounded its genesis, sharing a certain identification with him. A paradox is before us: the photograph, as a double, reveals itself
at the same time as the presence of an absence, and the absence of a presence. We chose the film La belle personne in order to analyze the anthropological role of the photograph.
