Transparency is the value of every period: democratic transparency in the political, visual transparency in the digital. Transparency of the body in seduction. This essay-creation affirms that, from and in the audiovisual, the visual transparency is an excess of brightness to cover up, to hide, and to lose the polysemy of the images. The text proposes to ambiguate the visible, to tarnish the gaze, to overpass appearances and to bastardize identities as a tactic to acquired a narration, an aesthetics, a truth and a representation of the audiovisual form. Thus, the figure of the fog is presented as the inter-medium mode to intervene the morality and brightness of the digital image that has its sky on television and video clip. This essay-creation seeks to re-think representation and audiovisual narration through the figure of the fog. In the end, the video-cliff (or a vertigo narration about the fog) is proposed as an impure alternative that explodes the transparency of the video-clip.
