Resumo(s)
The body’s inaccessibility as an organ has an inevitable carnal boundary that nature imposes to humans: its own skin. Therefore, the metabolism — what’s most interior in ourselves — orbits between the familiar and the strange. In this sense, the evidence that the body’s interior is an organ is manifested by matters, fluids and excretions which are expelled. This evidence is recognized as the most direct trace of the body’s interiority and reconsiders the margins of a body that extends itself, expands outside its limits, exits beyond the skin. This evidence is not exclusive to the human body, it is shared in the vastness of the world’s living bodies because all of them have a protective surface (barrier, frontier, peel: the skin of the world) — which separates the interior and exterior of all bodies. This investigation has a plastic, creative and artistic strand, of exploratory character, and a theoretical-conceptual strand, where the plastic results are analysed (methods, procedures, concepts and inherent ideas). Thus, the artist (myself) proposes to explore (her) obsession with the interior of an inevitable feminine body (her own), as it is at her disposal and in interaction at a micro, macro, and discursive level, with the surrounding nature. The artist discovers her body through the photographic capture she executes in a process which originates surprising frameworks. The Ten projects result from this “self-body” exploration, isolated and in relation with other bodies, allowing to think of concepts such as strangeness versus familiarity, the interior-exterior relationship, the body as an organ and skin, the framework that abstracts the photographed model towards unrecognizable.
