Conversas com a Natureza através dos pigmentos das plantas: o processo criativo com
anthotype opera uma síntese da pesquisa teórico-prática, realizada no âmbito do
Doutoramento em Media Artes da Faculdade de Artes e Letras da Universidade da Beira
Interior, na Covilhã, Portugal, entre 2019 e 2023. Com o propósito de investigar o fazer
fotográfico através do processo histórico de fotografia do século XIX, conhecido por
anthotype, o qual se relaciona diretamente com os pigmentos das plantas, explorou-se o
entrecruzamento deste com a fotografia digital, o vídeo, o livro digital e outras práticas
artísticas instalativas. Esta pesquisa teve como prioridade o processo de criação e a
experiência vivida ao acompanhar alguns agricultores agroecológicos, com os quais
desenvolvi um processo colaborativo de criação através de seus alimentos sem
agrotóxicos. Além disso, houve relação com certos povos originários da terra, os
indígenas, que se revelaram inspiradores para os trabalhos artísticos desenvolvidos neste
âmbito e aqui apresentados: Conversa com a Natureza I (2020), o documentário
Saberes da Terra (2020), Nhak-krarati (2022), o livro, Conversas com a Natureza II:
pós-fotografia com o anthotype (2023), a instalação A terra é o que nos une (2023 –
work in process). Acrescendo também a experiência realizada com alunos do ensino
médio do Instituto Federal de Brasília, na disciplina de fotografia, que lecionei no
primeiro semestre de 2022.
Para tal, a pesquisa dividiu-se em três eixos investigativos, interrelacionados entre si: (1)
O processo criativo com o anthotype e a conexão com os pigmentos das plantas e com a
agricultura agroecológica, (2) Hibridismos entre linguagens imagéticas e (3) Relação
entre obra e processo de criação, participador e espaço.
Devido à pandemia da covid-19, esta investigação de doutoramento foi tomando
múltiplas direções e agenciamentos, lidando com constantes imponderáveis.
Considerou-se, assim, a pesquisa como um processo de aprendizagem que prioriza o
percurso e a experiência, aberta aos limites técnicos, naturais e temporais. Assumiu-se o
caráter processual, em que o objeto de estudo é o próprio processo criativo das práticas
artísticas realizadas com o anthotype, seus desdobramentos, inquietações e relações.
Desse modo, à mercê das inúmeras ramificações rizomáticas (Deleuze & Guatarri 2011)
deste caminhar, o foco da investigação não se restringiu apenas a um trabalho criativo.
Antes, abarcou uma multiplicidade de outras conexões, tanto práticas como teóricas. Também, o conceito de criação como rede em processo, proposto por Cecília Salles
(2016), traduz as conexões de nossa pesquisa a toda uma pluralidade de aspectos que a
obra sintetiza.
Dessa forma, a investigação do doutoramento em Media Artes combina teoria, prática e
(auto) crítica para articular seu processo de pesquisa, dando importância ao papel do
artista-pesquisador que documenta a sua experiência e seu conhecimento através de seu
trabalho prático e de escrita, considerando a própria prática artística como fonte de
conhecimento.
This thesis, named "Conversations with Nature through the plant pigments: the creative process with anthotype'' operates a synthesis of the theoretical and practical research, carried out throughout the PHD in Media Arts of Arts and Letters University of Beira Interior, in Covilhã, Portugal, between 2019 and 2023. With the purpose of investigating photographic making through the historical process of photography from the 19th century, known as anthotype, which is directly related to the plant pigments, it explored the intersection of this historical process with digital photography, video and other installation art practices. This research had as a priority the prcess of creation and the lived experience of following some agro-ecological farmers, with whom I developed a collaborative process of creation through their non-agrotoxic food. In addition, there was a relationship with certain original peoples of the land, the indigenous people, which proved to be inspiring for the artistic works developed in this scope and presented here: Conversations with Nature I (2020), the documentary Saberes da Terra (2020), Nhakkrarati (2022) and the installation A terra é o que no une (2022 - 2023), Conversations with Nature II (2022). I also add the experience with high school students from the Federal Institute of Brasilia, in the photography subject, which I taught in the first semester of 2022. To this end, the research was divided into three interrelated investigative axes: (1) The creative process with the anthotype and the connection with plant pigments and agroecological agriculture, (2) Hybridisms between imagetic languages and (3) Relationship between the work and the creative process, the participant, and the space. Due to the pandemic of covid-19, this research was taking multiple directions and it was dealing with constant indefinite points. Thus, the research was considered as a learning process that prioritizes the path and the experience, open to technical, natural, and temporal limits. The processual character was assumed, in which the object of study is the creative process itself of the artistic practices carried out with the anthotype, its unfoldings, restlessness and relations. The investigation assumes the main objective of reflecting on the creation of artistic works in anthotype, its relationship with agroecological agriculture and its intersections with new digital image technologies, such as video, digital photography and installation. Therefore, at the mercy of the countless rhizomatic ramifications (Deleuze & Guatarri 2004) of this journey, the focus of the investigation was not restricted only to creative work. Rather, it embraced a multiplicity of other connections, both practical and theoretical. Also, the concept of creation as a network in process, proposed by Cecília Salles (2016), translates the connections of our research to a whole plurality of aspects that the work synthesizes. In this way, the research of the PhD in Media Arts combines theory, practice and (self) criticism to articulate its research process, giving importance to the role of the artistresearcher who documents his experience and knowledge through his practical work and writing, considering the artistic practice itself as a source of knowledge.
