RESUMO
This dissertation is dedicated to the study of the so- called public invisibility experienced by the members of the urban community Água Mineral, located in the district of São Gonçalo. By means of photography, an intervention was performed in order to grasp the way by which those members see and understand the place where they live. Considering place as an identity producer, the question was how does a subject constitute itself based on living in a place that doesn´t figure on the city map considered, therefore, invisible. Built on the concepts of psychoanalysis, sociology and anthropology, the present dissertation outlines invisibility as a subjective experience that leaves marks on the subject, of which impacts, such as alienation, shame, indifference, humiliation and subjective emptiness, are felt and experienced on a daily basis. The act of photographing was analyzed as the possibility of unveiling a subject who lives in a place, which, being invisible, struggles to constitute a feasible place of existence.
