Escultura Orgánica: mi cuerpo y el cuerpo del otro

Abstract

This study proposes a look at the body as an object of aesthetic exploration, for which an historical account from Anthropolgy, Sociology and Mythology, of the different uses of the body in Art, is presented. It further explores proposals of contemporary artists who have worked with organic human materials. Finally, it includes an analysis of Red, a sculpture that was made by weaving with human hair, which is the result of a creation and investigation process that was developed by the current author, where the techniques and concepts set out herein are applied.
