Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to synthetize and analyze serialism as a method through which narration can be elaborated in conceptual photography. There is a narrow aesthetic niche in the field of conceptual photography, the narrative type, through which directing, construction, both conceptual and plastic, manages to approach to creating a fictional photographic universe, more usually met in auteur cinema or in art theatre. Serialism has manifested as a variation of this genre. Also, there will be analyzed the creations of two photographic artists that frequently used serialism: Duane Michals and Mac Adams.
