O Corpo no despir-vestir performático

Abstract

This artistic project investigates the body and the creative process in performance, highlighting the power of wearable art and its dialogues with space and the audience. The research stems from the need to understand how creative processes in performance develop in relation to wearable art, using the artist's personal trajectory as the central axis of the investigation. Throughout the study, themes such as lived experiences, daily life, affective memories, and the maternal laundry space are explored as poetic triggers. Methodologically, the research adopts an experimental approach, integrating processual records, performative experimentations, and reflections on artistic practice. The methods developed throughout the investigation enable the conceptualization and activation of performance through the body and clothing, understanding wearable art as a guiding element of performative actions. Although it engages in dialogue with fashion, wearable art is approached from a poetic and conceptual perspective, distancing itself from market-driven logic-an aspect that aligns with one of the essential characteristics of performance art. The study's findings reveal that each investigated process presents unique dynamics and singularities, reinforcing the notion that performative creation is inherently subjective and relational. Thus, this research navigates the contexts and concepts of performance, emphasizing the significance of poetic investigations within the field of visual arts.
