Histórias contingentes: entre imagens e escritos

Abstract

The present dissertation is the cross between the research of the artistic practice and the theoretical research that is based on the practice itself, knowing that one would not be possible without the other. Research is carried out from memory processes, more deeply in the interrelationship between image and writing in the development of visual arts. By understanding the non-hierarchy between image and writing, the text will reflect the powers of story creation. Authors such as Roland Barthers, Susan Sontang and Georges-Didi Huberman are central to contingent thinking, missing spaces that allow the imaginative exercise. Antonin Artaud is the basis for writing to be thought of as drawing, lines produced by impulses of the body, not a simple tool for recording ideas. In order for the artistic exercise between imagination, writing and stories to exist, I have undertaked walks through cities collecting objects and producing stories from them, which I call Traces. At that moment, the movements of wandering are the basis for thinking of the walks through the city, as well as the surrealist literature through André Breton.
