Escalada, escritura, escultura por uma linguagem de contato

by César Augusto Flores Becker

Recent years have witnessed in fields as diverse as archeology, science studies, anthropology, philosophy, history, arts, among others, the growing interest in decentralizing the human body as a central reference point for thinking about the world. It is from these formulations that this research offers a thought about sculpture, due to its original foundations - the body, matter and space - under the displacement of human perception as the main conceptual center of this language. From that, we will try to analyze here specifically about a place located in South America, in Brazil, in the Central Altitude Plateau called Belchior. Could a place, from the perspective of the sculptural frames that space itself engenders, be conceived as a sculpture?
