FORMATIVE ASPECTS OF ARTISTIC CREATION: AN ANALYSIS OF PICTURES OF MAGAZINES OF VIK MUNIZ

Abstract

Think about the processes of creation as formative systems is conceive them by means of the various relationships that an artist establishes during the process. In this article, supported by the theories of genetic criticism, we identified formative aspects that can be understood as network connections of creation, where each component of the system is to establish influence over the other, not in terms of the hierarchy, but of correlation. The understanding of these movements, not always with records available materials, is only possible from the moment in which the work is interpreted as the result of access of the artist to various sources and heterogeneous. To demonstrate the application of the concept, we present the analysis of the process of creation of the artist Vik Muniz in the series “Pictures of Magazine”. We describe formative systems of work, highlighting triggers and identify influences, fundamental to ensure consistency in the records. We demonstrate that, in addition to the manuscripts, it is possible to collect other documents of procedure, provided that the establishment of criteria for analysis proving the veracity and the consistency of information. The records were found in different sources for research, but they refer, in particular, the concept of the work itself as a record of proceedings.
