Abstract(s)
O reflexo, em sua essência, é um diálogo entre o que é real e o que é representado. Ao longo da história foi descoberto e evoluído, a partir de sombras e superfícies de água, até sua concepção em grandes formatos sólidos - como os espelhos - impulsionado pela curiosidade humana em capturar sua própria imagem. No entanto, este fenômeno ultrapassou as formas singelas e ganhou novas dimensões, transformando-se em um elemento que redefine e amplia as experiências arquitetônicas espaciais. No lugar de projeções simétricas, os reflexos criam mundos imersivos, constroem narrativas e configuram cenários de grandeza e ilusão. Por isso, a presente dissertação é realizada com o objetivo de analisar os fenômenos reflexivos em três áreas de atuação: nos diferentes estilos de jardins, sendo a água o principal elemento refletivo; em superfícies materiais, como as cores, os metais e as texturas; e nos próprios espelhos. Para estas análises é colocado em evidência o Instituto Inhotim, localizado no estado de Minas Gerais, no Brasil; considerado um museu artístico contemporâneo e reconhecido por sua fusão entre criações contemporâneas e a flora brasileira, oferecendo uma ampla investigação sobre as sensações e as interações corporais do público diante de cada instalação. Assim, tais características observadas em diferentes obras artísticas e arquitetônicas transformam os reflexos em um campo de experimentação visual e sensorial, onde eles se tornam extensões da própria identidade dos lugares. A partir desse amplo contexto, surge a ideia de criar uma nova instalação para o Instituto Inhotim que abrange o espaço como vivência arquitetônica e o reflexo como criador de um cenário atemporal e ilusório.
Reflection, in its essence, is a dialogue between what is real and what is represented. Throughout history, it has been discovered and evolved, from shadows and water surfaces to its conception in large solid formats - such as mirrors - driven by human curiosity in capturing one's own image. However, this phenomenon has gone beyond simple forms and gained new dimensions, transforming itself into an element that redefines and expands spatial architectural experiences. Instead of symmetrical projections, reflections create immersive worlds, construct narratives and configure scenarios of grandeur and illusion. Therefore, this dissertation aims to analyze reflective phenomena in three areas of activity: in different styles of gardens, with water as the main reflective element; in material surfaces, such as colors, metals and textures; and in mirrors themselves. For these analyses, the Inhotim Institute, located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, is highlighted; considered a contemporary art museum and recognized for its fusion of contemporary creations and Brazilian flora, offering a broad investigation into the sensations and bodily interactions of the public in front of each installation. Thus, such characteristics observed in different artistic and architectural works transform the reflections into a field of visual and sensorial experimentation, where they become extensions of the very identity of the places. From this broad context, the idea of creating a new installation for the Inhotim Institute emerges that encompasses space as an architectural experience and the reflection as the creator of a timeless and illusory scenario.
