Metamorfoses: o entrelaçamento entre o humano e o vegetal em imagens

Abstract

This research, developed in the scope of visual arts, aims to problematize the connection between the human body and the vegetal world through the creation of cyanotypes, exploring the concept of metamorphosis. An artist book that demonstrates the process of transformation, from beginning to end, of these cyanotypes, is also elaborated. The theoretical and practical investigation involves studies on the interconnection between all living beings and the blending of bodies. Relationships are established between this knowledges, personal memories, and experiences of medicinal plants cultivation, as well as artistic experimentation, with an emphasis on the cyanotype technique. This project highlights the importance of awareness regarding the coexistence and mutual influence between human and non-human bodies, reflecting on metamorphosis as a continuous process of life transformation. The common origin of all life and the connection among living beings are emphasized, underscoring the relevance of nature in our existence. [resumo fornecido pelo autor]
