In Rio, I'll be chatting with artists. Listening, mainly. Henceforth, said artists, will be the basis
of fictional texts (perhaps, not so much, because everything they say is incorporated into the text
and therefore not fictional and more real). The aforementioned artists should not be excluded from the
dialogue after the text has been completed since I believe that contact with the artist must be
continuous and permanent. In other words, I will connect the artist's message (or, better said, voice)
to the public through texts that incorporate features of his idiosyncrasy. In the sweet slopes of this
communication, the allusion to Mikhail Bakhtin's dialectical and dialogical forms will become clear to
explore new forms of critical mediation. Furthermore, this process will transform the different voices
of the artists into a fictional mass that sheds light on various themes such as: (a) interpretation
and neutrality, (b) the limits between fiction and reality and (c) different ways in which contemporary
artists incorporate your ideas.
