DESCRIPTION

ABSTRACTThe objective of this work is the construction of an artistic view on rythms and way of living of the homeless population. In academic point of view, the conception of “valid performance” from Cloke works as an important element of the textual argumentation here represented on the sense that the homeless stage actions as sleep, eat and share similarly as the population that has fixed residence. However, as the first group is seen as declassed and excluded,the second is as central and included, perceptions discussed on thisthesis is thesis discusses the connotation of stranger, generally assigned tothe homeless population throw the sociological discussion bias, based mainlyon Zygmunt Bauman and Michel Foucault thoughts about the strangerand the ways of lead and control of this population. The artistic view is atthe systematic work of construction of light, time and of the photographicregister in sequence using the stop motion technique. the nightly light ofthe exposures as light that not exist, or, in other words, is built from the fleetingand irregular of cars headlights that were going by. The light of each carheadlight is different, the angle which it focus too. The camera setup needsconstantly to be readjusted. In this process the time assumes a protagonistrole. An important aspect as the way this thesis was conducted focus on theshared experiences conducted as essential manner of the research, both inthe speculative role as in the moments it was employed systematically. Therapprochement and the entrance on the habitual of those persons are oneof the results of this manner of living, The settlement of empathy, of dynamicscompatibility of experiences – sometimes based on language, sometimeswithout it, only by the gestural or the emotional observant presence andintellectually relaxed. The domain of the technique guided some intuitivesteps, but conducted, at the end, the construction of this language.
