Paisagens íntimas: horizontes, viagens e outros deslocamentos

Abstract

This research deals with the possibility of constructing intimate landscapes. From an autobiographical perspective, I propose the realization of an autoethnography that articulated the descriptions of my production process in the arts, as well as the exercises performed during the investigation. The self-exploratory journey reported in this reflection narrates and problematizes the presence of my body and its relation to the world. Two questions were pertinent: whether it is possible to be subject at present and how to build intimacy in times of fluid loves. Faced with such inquiries, the exercises and experiments carried out pointed to themes such as: body, intimacy, solitude, femininity and memory. Through artistic strategies, paths have been elaborated that envisage a horizon of possible solutions to the anxieties placed. However, the developed process was confronted with the objectification of the body and the subjection of culture, which makes it impossible for us to be subjects. It was also evident the difficulty of having intimacy in the present. The artistic strategies presented here show how to create loopholes that can give some autonomy of action to the subject
