O que guarda um corpo-objeto: procedimentos cerâmicos e incorporações anímicas nas artes visuais

Abstract

My dissertation is on the the poetic inferences in the field of research of practical and theoretical character in Visual Arts, having as the main guidind element the idea of anima existing in artistic objects. Animism is the belief that all elements of nature, be they stones, plants, animals or the fundamental elements, that is, animate or inanimate, have soul. Through a methodology called by me artistic-animist syncretism, where the art-umbanda-nature trinominal plays the role of interlocutions that underlie my creations, I elaborate object bodies constructed through artistic rituals and hybrid techniques that emerge from the use of terrestrial materials such as clay, stones and metals, ceramic procedures and rituals of soul-building to establish objects, actions and artistic installations.
