Perforgrafar: instaurando portais nas artes visuais

Abstract

This dissertation aimed to address the research process from a qualitative-documentary perspective in the line of research into artistic creation processes. Thus, I establish the corporal artistic process as an object of research from the perspective of the body as a medium in Visual Arts, based on improvisation in performance that takes place in the vicinity of urban spaces, they were: Serra do Curral in Belo Horizonte - MG and Dunas de Stella Maris in Salvador - BA. Improviser that I am, and because I don't trust theories that don't sweat, I installed portals at the top of the mountain and on the surface of the sand, looking for ways to perform the energy of these entities that nourish my sensitivity, as the concrete and asphalted city sucks energies that move the world. be sensitive. In this way, the dissertation presents, based on this flow of the body in presence, the limits, edges, erasures, traces within this performative microaesthetics that tension the researcher and object/material to highlight the complex relationships of the investigative path. I appear disappearing not only in the images, but also in the writing that tries to account for the body artistic practices developed, therefore, a search to reveal what remains hidden in them. Through ideas such as: “performances of spiraling time”, “notions of selfie in autobiography”, “body practice as a research methodology in the arts” and other conceptual-theoretical intentions, this dissertation presents the term "Performing", where the body, as a media in the arts, reveals the vigor of imaginative expression, through a performance without conventional concepts, establishing an affectation that remakes the performance event through its own images and reflections. The objective was to discuss the memories of the body in performance and the importance of the environment for its performance. To this end, the author's black and gay body, here understood as a portal body, becomes territory and a means of experiencing space, creating spellings that intersect words and movement as a hybrid place of visual creation. Finally, I invite the dear reader (a/e) to produce resonances within the portals presented in these writings. Here, there is no path to be followed in a conventional way, therefore, it is an invitation for you to create your own path as you read, establishing connections based on your involvement with the dissertation. 1. 2. 3; Dive in!
