This video was created in early 2018 as part of the Coloniality and Body: Relationships between Power, Art and Decolonial Thought. The research lists points from the past, which dialectically present themselves today. In this work I use videos from YouTube that articulate conservative speeches about events that occupied the center of the debate in the national artistic field, around exhibitions and artistic proposals that tensioned the current order. I make the collage and overlay of documentaries, TV stories, interviews and videos created for the youtube platform, proposing dialogues and clashes as a way of rearticulating the past, tensioning elements of history and socio-political structures. Poor speeches of logic, remove the possibility of a debate that is not linked to certain categories of violence, thus considering epistemological violence and the updating of the processes of subordination. The montage is interested in highlighting the power of dealing with the past through fragmented audiovisual crossings, as a way of elaborating the memory of the crisis. Not only establishing bridges between past and present, the work proposes a critical space that helps in the legibility of the present moment. Thus pointing out how certain ideas maintain continuities in the present, where multiple agents channel energy towards the annihilation of subjectivities and artistic and reflective forms.
