Summary: | The text explores the relation between the work of the French writer Georges Perec (1936 – 1982) and the Contemporary Art by the means of his book <em>Les Choses – une histoire des années soixante</em> and the work <em>Gathering</em> of Daniel Firman (1966), recently showed in the exhibition <em>“regarde de tous tes yeux, regarde”, l’art contemporain de Georges Perec</em>. The aim here is to understand the territory of mutual atractions of these works by means of a certain ‘photographic value’ that is able ‘to make visible something that doesn’t necessarily belongs to the order of the visible’; by the focus on the unimportant in the relation with everyday life; and a type of expressive construction that would explore the emptiness and the senseless in the relations of the individual with the things of the world.<br />
