Horizontes Verticais

Abstract

Vertical horizons is an artistic investigation, presented in this TFG II, supported by the knowledge acquired and developed, during the course of Bachelor of Visual Arts in this UFSM. The initial motivation resulted in concerns, questions and reflections due to an episode that happened with my mother. A mental disorder, which evolved into an accumulative behavior, resulting in accumulation of useful and useless things. Among these things, countless boxes and unfinished crochet pieces, mandalas, coincidentally the symbolism of the psyche. Subjectivity is the guiding thread and enables a type of production where the process is valued as a fundamental element. The intention is to perceive, to explain and to signify, through the three-dimensional representation, head, since it is one of the most important parts of the human body, guardian of our intellect, knowledge and memories. Box, because it is the receptacle of any entity. I investigate, in this poetic, how these memories can reverberate as artistic matter in a process of sculptural construction, re-signifying these memories. Also, the exposition of the sculptural construction can unfold critical reflections that connect the past and the present time. For this reason, I consider how much the artistic process and its unfolding have contributed and strengthened the experiments of research, creating, experiencing, and generating new research proposals and possibilities.
