Corpomontagem: intimidades cênico-visuais de um corpo autofabulado

Abstract

The research I present, through the words and images of this dissertation, proposes an exploration of the term “bodymontage” (corpomontagem), coined by me and understood as a multimedia scenic-visual space that enables the experimentation of assembling, reassembling, and disassembling my body, addressing it toward fabulation and resulting in countervisualities. Grounded in the approach of Art Research and anchored in Autobiographical Research in Art, the investigation draws on my own artistic practices of photoperformance and digital montage, moving between visual and scenic environments, as well as intimate and collective spaces. Drawing on studies of critical fabulation, this research examines how images constructed through scenic-visual montage processes perform affects, desires, traumas, and fragilities of a body that (re)invents itself through its own (re)assembly. Organized into three chapters, this dissertation follows these paths: the first conceptualizes body-montage; the second engages debates on self-representation, self-portraiture, and autofabulation; and the third analyzes selected works produced by me throughout my trajectory in the Graduate Program in Art and Visual Culture (PPGACV/FAV/UFG), Research Line B: Artistic Poetics and Creative Processes. Combining performative writing, poems, feelings, and an autobiographical practice, this dissertation explores noise, anchors itself in investigations of assembling and disassembling, and finds in fabulation a pathway for constructing other narratives of existence and resistance.
