Aqui à deriva

Abstract

This research starts from the idea of drift as a fundamental operation to address the artistic process itself, as well as the writing procedure that accompanies it and that aims to articulate a heterogeneous set of works. Choosing the object aqui (here) as a guiding element in the movement of wandering that characterizes the poetic language dealt with in this thesis, we seek to highlight the unfinished, unstable, indeterminate, paradoxical, and ironic character of the artistic exercises that gravitate around it. For this, the investigation presented here follows a methodology in which doubt and hesitation serve as a cloudy horizon for the reflexive development of such aspects, seeking to emphasize the way they interpenetrate. Through the articulation between theory and practice and through the dialogue between my own conceptions and the perspectives present in the works of other artists, this work intends to promote an experience of wandering through thought.
