description This paper reflects on the visual stimuli present in the work of the Peruvian/Mexican writer Mario Bellatin, specifically in the direct incorporation of photographs in Los fantasmas del masajista (2009). In this way, four conceptual axes are proposed that seek to illustrate the meaning of the inclusion of this element in the text, as well as the analysis of the photographic archive that, at first sight, seem to have an obvious continuity with the story, but that many times rather puzzle and produce a derisory effect. Finally, interdisciplinarity is considered as a procedure that, far from favoring referentiality in the work, arouses a series of doubts in the reader, an effect that is directly related to the artistic proposal of this writer.

El presente artículo reflexiona en torno a los estímulos visuales pre sentes en la obra del escritor peruano/mexicano Mario Bellatin, específicamente en la incorporación directa de fotografías en Los fantasmas del masajista (2009). De este modo, se proponen cuatro ejes conceptuales que buscan ilustrar el sentido que tiene la inclusión de este elemento en el texto, así como el análisis del archivo fotográfico que, a simple vista, parecieran tener una evidente continuidad con el relato, pero que muchas veces más bien desconciertan y producen un efecto irrisorio. Finalmente, se plantea la interdisciplinariedad como un procedimiento que, lejos de favorecer la referencialidad en la obra, despierta una serie de dudas en el lector, efecto que se relaciona directamente con la propuesta artística de este escritor.
