Oceano [in]vestido: tessituras da distância (inventário de artista)

Abstract

This dissertation speaks about an experimentation in processes, founded on distance collaboration, envolving five brazilian artists living abroad, and I, in Fortaleza. The encounter with Vilém Flusser’s text “Exile and creativity” was the inicial point of this research. Cecília Almeida Salles and Gilbert Simondon, in turn, have guided the hearing of the path and the crossing lines throughout the process. As I follow the route, attentive to the clues and the triggers, an artistic experiment emerges and is developed in the transit from mobility to immobility. The experience was registered in a poetic and biographic diary shared with the co-criators artists, while hosts of the experiment, received as a guest. This writing (inventory) was built in parallel, where, from a distance I followed the shiftings. The journey had been crossed over by diverse landscapes and passages, however, questions about exile and foreingnness dialogued with the creative process. From instabilities by metastabilities, performativives ways have been invented, by wich, I observe how they are affected by the creative impulse. I relate the research events to the transformations and outcomes revealed by the processes of individuation, as well as the perceptions lightened by them – the relation with clothing, for example, is one of them.
