Ar/fogo/terra/água – um mergulho temporal em videoperformance

Abstract

This dissertation presents a poetic research in Visual Arts in the field of Art and Technology. It has videoperformance as a research object, its theme being time. For this poetic investigation, it presents the elements air, fire, earth and water, explored in the videoperformances. In his methodology, he explores the act of walking through unknown places as a process of artistic creation, as well as the cartographic method. Initially, it deals with the creation process, in which immersions were carried out in five different cities, making captures in video, and presents them in its raw form, without editions. Still, it brings two videoperformances that seeks to relate time with the elements water and air. Subsequently, it makes a survey about the context of video art and videoperformance and its emergence in Brazil. In discussing the meeting of videoperformance and the four elements, he presents five videoperformances developed in sequence-plan, in which he relates subjective questions about time through the elements earth and fire, presenting links with performance artists and videoperformance: Richard Long, Marina Abramovic, Tunga, Minoosh Zomorodinia, Noara Quintana and Andressa Cantergiani. Finally, it proposes temporal relations through the editions of previous performances, relating such temporalities to the concept of duration of Henri Bergson.
