Pôr em cena a partir das sombras: uma poética em artes visuais

Abstract

During this writing, I approach my production process and thought that permeates an understanding of how the possible articulations between sculpture, the body, and the shadow allow me to discuss micropolitical tensions in my production in the visual arts. I present two sets of works, the first contextualizes what I understand as a theater of shadows, which allows me to propose certain discussions by the use and articulation of shadows at work and compose a path that comes in the most current production. The other set deals with sculptures performed by Black bodies, which touch notions about how the Black body is perceived in the social context, circumstantially due to the structural racism that puts notions about visibility in vogue. The works covered as well as the relationships I establish between the production of other artists, such as Regina Silveira, William Kentridge, Thiago Sant’ana, and Renata Felinto, and theorists such as Roberto Casati (2001), Victor Stoichita (1999), José Euzébio Assumpção (2013) and Franz Fanon (2018), propose images that go towards the light and shadow binomial bringing different discussions that pervade both formal and conceptual aspects of production in contemporary art.
