MEMORABILIA: uma coleção feita de objetos, escritos e memórias

Abstract

This dissertation is the result of a research developed in the Masters in Visual Arts, PPG /AV, Performing Arts Center, UFPel. The big question that moves me as a researcher is collectivism thought as a poetic practice, directly associated with some expographic thinking. Having identified the habit of gathering and exposing "things" with common characteristics, which serve both to remember and to recognize the world, these collections present themselves as a power of poetic-visual senses. Among the items, the notepad used in my daily work as a journalist is the trigger of the research, being considered the "object-body" of the same, able to provide a series of questions discussed here. In this sense, I develop a taxonomy from the objects inserted in personal collections, being observed under different prisms, including as memory centers. From this valuation of the things with which we live and with which we construct our territory, I consider relations of "accumulation" and "loss" inherent in such processes, as well as questions referring to "collectivism", "memory" and "happiness" addressed through the research line Education in Art and Formation of Aesthetic Processes.
