Espaço rompido: uma investigação poética dos processos de abstração nos quadrinhos ou por uma poética da opacidade

Abstract

“Broken space” is a reflection on the potency of abstraction in the language of comics. By crossing different fields, I looked for creative paths that diluted or flowed across borders, allowing a work that decentered traditional comic books, putting them in relationship with processes of contemporary arts, literature and other artistic systems. “Broken space” is a box that represents part of what was mapped and built during the course of research, poetic works and procedural discussions merge into loose fragments, allowing a reduction in the hierarchical distance between practice and theory, which were built without prior order, in an incessant coming and going. Poetic research allowed us to enter cracks guided by intuition and the pleasure of the formative process, finding fertile ground that allowed the unfolding of a will that I understood and called “poetics of opacity”, characterized by the strength of the process of abstraction in comics – a process that it maintains in constant tension the notions of figuration, narrative, continuity, graphic cut and montage, materiality, conceptuality and authorship. Finally, this research in Artistic Poetics and Creation Processes sought to explore the opacity of language and the abstraction of comics in constant dialogue with our reality of transparency and pragmatism, opposing the contemporary trend of fast automated reception to the desire for diversity, solidarity and poetry.
