Presença da ausência: representação do luto de forma sensível e humanizada

Abstract

The aim of this work is to represent grief through the union of art, experimentation and design, resulting in the creation of a physical, tactile, humanized and interactive product. This goal is achieved through the creation of an experimental book, based on the author's personal experiences. Seeking to deepen her understanding of this process, the author seeks to express, in an artistic and experimental way, an experience that is both subjective and universal. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of the project, research was carried out in the areas of psychology, with a focus on mourning, and design, with the study of the possibilities of an experimental book. The methodology used for its development was an adaptation of the one proposed by Bruno Munari in his book “From things things are born”. Thus, the project is developed through 7 stages of analysis, synthesis and development. Finally, the descriptive memorial resulting from the proposed project is presented, describing the experimental process and the results obtained through a prototype.
