Maravilhoso escândalo: uma poética de metamorfoses e rupturas

Abstract

When thinking about the process of artistic creation in contemporary times, this must be considered a path where many languages are tangent. It is proposed here a study guided by the existing synergy between the fields of art and fashion, more specifically in the conjunction between body, clothing and performance. Having a thematic axis that permeates the subject's homossexuality and metamorphoses, the aim is to build an approach that involves the creative processes of the artist in relation to his own experiences. Therefore, a methodology based on theory and practice is worked, which is based on leading authors such as Renato Cohen, Renata Pitombo Cidreira, Nízia Villaça, Edith Modesto, among others, who corroborate the concepts discussed. Thus, entitled "Maravilhoso Escândalo", this dissertation brings reflections about the personal processes that influence artistic making, as well as highlights the tenuous lines that, instead of separating art and fashion, sew and tie them up between the body and the performance.
