Paisagens de poeira: por uma poética da distância.

Abstract

A poeira is present in all places. It is common to see it above all, in different layers that show the constant passage of time - the movement of the landscape. “Landscapes of dust: for a poetics of distance” is a project where dust is the form, the evidence, the memory of the urban landscape. The way of inhabiting it and its location directly influence its transformation. The observation and relation of the natural and urban space of Bogotá and Salvador, the relations of man with nature and the landscape understood as a concept created culturally, are the bases for the development of this research. In this way, this dissertation aims to establish relationships between the natural, urban and the landscape from poetic acts formed by the movements of construction and deconstruction generated by the constant growth of the city, whose interest lies in the observation of its effects on the environment, trying to present the landscape and the dust as a basis for the creation of an artistic language with the drawing by deposition of dust or sand. At this point, my works have developed through time, the movement of urban space and the observation of the landscape, from different anthropic factors, such as minings, to the construction of social housing projects, combustion of gasoline and diesel, among others. other causes and, not by chance, constantly developing in the cities of Bogotá and Salvador. “Dust landscapes: for a poetics of distance” is, therefore, a silent testimony to the movement of urban space and the transformation of the landscape, based on the works of authors such as Milton Santos, Javier Maderuelo, Jean Marc Besse, Merleau Ponty, Marc Auge, André Rouillé, as well as in the observation, experimentation and direct intervention of the urban landscape.
