Arte anti-sacra: kenosis e iconofagia na crítica de Márcia X

Abstract

This article analyzes the work of Brazilian artist Márcia X., with an emphasis on the performance "Drawing with Rosaries" (2000-2001), in which Christian symbols are reinterpreted through critical and erotic operations. The research sought to understand how the artist appropriates elements of Christianity to produce a critique of religious structures. The methodology adopted is qualitative and interdisciplinary, based on the hermeneutics of the work and in dialogue with theoretical frameworks from religious and communication studies. The concepts used were Marcel Gauchet's "religion of leaving religion," Paulo Pires do Vale's "art of leaving art," and Norval Baitello Jr.'s "iconophagy."
