Grounded in an autobiographical and theoretical-practical approach through performance art, the study presents the artistic work Álvaro as a result of these investigations. It draws on the researcher’s personal experience as an art educator and visual artist marked by exclusion, surveillance, and subalternization. The research examines how colonial and necropolitical mechanisms (Mbembe) continue to operate, while also exploring practices of resistance and re-existence inspired by the concept of aquilombamento (Nascimento). Methodologically, it combines autobiographical narratives, sentimental cartography (Rolnik), spiral time (Martins), and performance as both a methodological and political device. The project engages with contemporary artists and proposes the displacement of dissident bodies into nontraditional art spaces—such as squares, street markets, and urban terminals—fostering contemporary forms of aquilombamento as aesthetic, political, and affective gestures. Ultimately, it articulates art, education, and performance as practices capable of challenging institutional hegemonies and redefining ways of being, inhabiting, and producing urban subjectivities.

This study analyzes the representational possibilities of the witch figure beyond the North American and European contexts, focusing on the Chilean film Sorcery (2023) and incorporating a Latin American perspective. To this end, we engage with the theoretical framework of Machado (2019) and Federici (2017; 2019; 2023). The analysis proceeds through a symptomatology of time based on Burckhard (1961), and through a montage-based reading of the film’s visual découpage, drawing on Aby Warburg’s method (2015). The outcome of this research will be a visual essay composed from a perspective ch’ixi of Silvia Cusicanqui(2015) and the new mestiza of Anzaldúa (2012), establishing parallels with works by Latin American visual artists and images from other media, in pursuit of a visual knowledge Didi-Huberman (2013).

The untimely body is designated and developed through counter-histories, unfolding across different problematics. It is articulated in poetics whose performance becomes possible through the intercession of José Gil (2013), Friedrich Nietzsche (1999), Peter Pál Pelbart (2015), and Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari (2010), drawing on the concept of the untimely. Writing, understood as poetics of the untimely body, takes the form of compossibilities (Pelbart, 2015). These are composed of a series of aesthetic and cultural practices drawn from the history of Western painting, from the customs of Brazilian Indigenous peoples of different ethnicities, from decolonial performative acts, from the visual and contingent dynamics of concrete poetry, as well as from childhood memories and from the author’s formative and productive trajectories. The author, who also inscribes themself in the act, becomes writing, structuring and de-structuring language.

In Cintilações (Hall of Aberrations, Haunting, 2023), I investigate the scintillating pulsation as an audiovisual montage method, aiming to establish an image flicker effect caused by the alternation of bright and dark frames. Scintillation occurs through the partial interdiction of the luminous pulsation emanating from the projection, in its various intensities and frequencies, performing the metaphorical function of a shadow obstructing the path of light. Through this effect, I seek to expand the conditions of visibility beyond the eye's physiology, fostering a hallucinatory vision for the spectator—the supra-visible. These strands reveal a multifaceted universe of creation, marked by experimentation and grounded in the paradigm of creation as a network (Salles, 2008). Throughout this research, I seek to establish a definition of the shadow phenomenon, its relationship with theories of knowledge, with the myths of the origin of representation, and its instrumental uses in science, while also addressing its paradoxes and ambiguities (Casati, 2001; Baxandall, 1997; Tanizaki, 2007; Plato, 2018; Pliny, 2001; Bismarck, 2004). Finally, I discuss the aesthetic/poetic/political potential of the shadow, with its possibilities for inventing other visibilities and establishing new lines of imagination and knowledge (Dilacerda, 2022; 2023; Crary, 2016; Didi-Huberman, 2011).
