Bordar a si: uma análise sobre o fazer artístico na obras de Pedro Luis

Abstract

The present work intends to analyze the possibility of considering the manual embroidery, in the works of the contemporary artist Pedro Luis, as a writing of itself (Foucault, 1992). Where self-writing is considered a practice that can act both as a kind of active self-composition and a social critique. The methodology used for this work, which is of a qualitative nature, was a bibliographic research, which took place through books, articles and online publications, and also an imagetic analysis, where some works of the artist were studied through the method of Analysis Grid. (adapted) by Gerverau (2007). Data collection was done through the artist's Instagram page, where he makes his works available. In addition, we have an interview granted by the artist, which enlightened us about his career and creative process. It is concluded that the parallel that this work proposes to make is possible, as similarities between Pedro Luis's artistic doing and the practice of self-writing are observed.
