Território: testemunho

Abstract

This is a research that starts from my production and research as an artist and researcher and focuses on the territory in its various forms and compositions as an agent possessing a vital force and the capacity of testifying. The way in which the different territories articulate and conform, creating and remaking worlds and fostering new forms of life, bodies and possible relationships in a relationship of constant becoming, generating multiplicities and pluralities, in an ethics of difference and care. This is also a research impacted by the context of the COVID 19 pandemic and had to be reinvented with the suspension of all planned face-to-face activities. This dissertation is composed of three books and two crossing-lines: the book Composition, where reflections on writing from my position as an artist-researcher are developed and the relations between writing and image from the desire to understand how a production takes place sensitive and thinking through transdisciplinarity and multilingualism. The book Between-Worlds permeates the earth - body - territory triad to think about these three fields based on relationality, decentralization and a multispecific conformation that enable the creation and speculation of possible worlds from a contaminated, disturbed and anthropocentric world . The book Between-Times that develop concepts as testimony, duration and vibration, proposing a reflection on the testimonial scope of human and other than human beings, on the temporality of events and the possible openings in the field of visual arts so that it fosters continuity and the creation of worlds , bodies and relationships. The Becoming line is composed of two acts: to those who wish and to become capable of. In it, I try to approach concepts that permeate the entire composition, such as agency, multiplicity and becoming; and the Move line opens up to the rhizome and cartography as methods of relationship, not only in this composition but also in life.
