Resumo
The aim of this dissertation is to discuss the visual construction of the social through the
artistic practices of Konstantin Christoff (1923-2011), as a postmodern artist, that created by
the serie Via Sacra. It is an strategy to operate in his art, a vision about meaningful cultural
expression in the city of Montes Claros. The Via Crucis of Christoff is a singular work and
stands out from the others both in quantity and content of the paintings. Through this study,
we will try to expand our analysis and reflections, because the upgrade of his Via Sacra
reveals us the reading that the artist has of the world around him, by the mobilization and
transformation of the senses. In the first chapter, we will approach relevant questions about
the subject “Via Sacra”, in order to investigate how some senses were operated, updated
and transformed through the representation of the Path of Christ’s Passion, by a completely
new and singular Via Sacra, where the artist theatricalizes the history of humanity. In the
second chapter, we’ll seek to understand how Konstantin Christoff appropriated, hybridized
and transformed the senses, through the metaphorical appropriation of consecrated
paintings, as “The Parable of the Blind” by Pieter Brueguel, and the use of characters such
as the blindfolded soldier, to operate, mobilize and transform the meanings, revealing the
spiritual blindness and the power relations in today’s society. In the third chapter, we think
about the society seen through the Via Sacra of Christoff, and how the artist made a severe
critique of pastoral, military and media power, as quell as the socioeconomic power relations
and issues of class, even that the artist had involuntarily sustained himself on the sacred
scriptures.
