<Caminhar>, <habitar>, <transitar>: processos em artes visuais

Abstract

The present research, carried out in Visual Poetics, seeks to reflect on relationships with personal living environments, from a poetic look at the surroundings, by promoting temporary actions in this context, at different times, and dividing the poetics into three stages, based on the practices of walking, inhabiting and transiting. From the restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 Pandemic, it was possible to perceive everyday situations, linked to a reduced environment, which resulted in the production of three videos. The video <Walk>, captures the displacement, on foot, through urban areas of the city of Santa Maria, and seeks to give continuity to the initial moments of the research before the Pandemic. In the sequence, after the qualification, with the making of the video <Caminhar>, it was possible to continue the other moments of the poetics and bring to light perceptions acquired by social isolation, which revealed the importance of the inhabited environment. This more intimate look generated the video <Habit>, in which photography was used as a first form of contact with the surroundings that made it possible to perceive and value the lived environment and adapt the proposal to the set of available elements. And this gradual approach to the videographic language favored a broader and subjective approach for the elaboration of the video <Transitar>, characterized by variations in the way of presenting the image in movement, with the use of animation and transition in its presentation, by seeking to approach the idea from distinct and constant changes. To build the theoretical basis and approach the concepts worked, the study was based on the thought of authors such as Michel de Certeau (1998), Yi-Fu Tuan (1993), Francesco Careri (2013, 2017), Juhani Pallasmaa (2017), Edmond Couchot (1993, 2007, 2003) and Sandra Rey (1997, 2004, 2007). The video productions, were presented in an online show called "Everyday Actions", which was available for viewing on the author's Youtube channel and social networks and remains accessible on IGTV on Instagram @navarrovalquiria.
