Abstract

In this work, woven with many hands, the reader will find six essays on some of the chosen works of the contemporary artist Lygia Clark. These writings relate to each other independently, but they are also linked by a hinge that always turns, proposing other triangulations and alliances like what comes from outside. All the texts are interconnected by the power of the artist's aesthetic objects, which serve as a device to think about other contemporary relationships, expanding the flows of what we already know as art/life, animality, clinical, expanded, volume, body and politics. In this way, Lygia Clark's works are entangled by my gaze and by a network of theoretical relationships that are sculpted as propositions that expand when touched by the relationship I establish with other artists, writers and theorists. In each essay, I propose encounters that make the territory of the visual arts dialogue with other areas of knowledge, such as literature and philosophy. From these encounters, I build a kind of Walking, which grows like a serpentine, a Climber that gets tangled up with what has strength, until I reach my goal, which is to point out how these objects are linked to the organicity and flows of life, which pulsate intensely with each proposition raised by an artist who has always been a coroner of space and of the body.
