Como engolir o mar com uma enciclopédia

Abstract

How to swallow the sea with an encyclopedia is an artist's research that starts from a production of its own, but which seeks dialogues and the development of questions in diverse fields such as art, literature, philosophy and science. Audioguides and 200 straws to swallow the sea [the first one collection of audio entries initiated in 2012 and the second one carried out in 2010], are the works that will generate the two encyclopedic movements in which this dissertation is divided: the desire to embrace the whole and the questioning [or dismantling] of knowledge organization models. For this, the work presents in the first and last part the poetic production of the artist and its processes establishing conversations with other authors - in the first two creations that gave origin to the research, and in the last ones that are the result of the motivation to think the systems of hegemonic organization and the desire to produce an inventory of the city. The second and third part will be devoted to the two encyclopedic movements mentioned above from the work of writers like Jorge Luis Borges, Samuel Beckett and Alfred Jarry and artists such as Janett Cardiff, Georges Miller, Marcel Duchamp and Milton Machado
