Description
Summary:This text presents an approach to the artist presence as a relation by offering a perspective about the body, and also the shift of presence as a non prior assignment from the artist, which allows us to bring attention to what emerges in the encounter between bodies in the here and now. The audience is considered an active partner and the artist is understood as the one that ceases starring to compose (add-with) the viewer, becoming a porous invitation-presence by an accurate perception practice of the environment settings. This combination of art, philosophy, anthropology and cognitive sciences references allows that the differences between an imposing presence and shared presence become apparent.
