In this essay, I propose an interlocution between photography and psychoanalysis. Among the various possible analyses of this encounter, my main concern is the dimension of time. In order to think temporality from the perspective of photography, I start, initially, with some provocations from Barthes and Soulages, extending them to other authors who contributed to this debate. To explore it from the psychoanalysis, I examine some contributions of Freud, Winnicott and Lacan. Finally, I seek to weave, from the presentation of a clinical vignette, some approximations between the two fields, pointing out that the roles played by the instant and by duration represent essential themes for both.

This paper reports the clinical treatment of a patient suffering from symptoms of emptiness and apathy. During his treatment, a negative transference came up in the form of anger and accesses of fury. Based on references from the field of psychoanalysis and the modalities of psychic illnesses, as well as by analyzing an occurred countertransference, the author proposes a reflection on how to clinically deal with such cases, on the encountered violence and on the alternation between states of silence and fury.
