Javier a través de Cris, Igor y Migue

Abstract

This research focuses on analyzing and reflecting on my affective bonds with Cris, my sentimental partner, Igor, our non-human animal companion, and Migue, my former student, the three of them in relation to my artistic practices, understanding them as a whole, where I do not conceive of a separation between life and art. Through an ethnographic and autoethnographic approach, complemented by creative approaches, I seek to situate how my artistic practices are intertwined with the affective manifestations and daily sharing with Cris, Igor and Migue, and how these dynamics have influenced my identity construction. This creation-research doesn’t work creation as a final product, but rather proposes everyday life as the artwork itself. Through an analysis of political and relational aspects, this research is aligned with the Cultural Studies of the Arts Research Line.
