Memorias ilustradas: el recuerdo y el análisis vida-gráfico como ejercicio creativo

Abstract

This work is a self-reflection on the author's experiences and a recounting of many memories brought to a plastic, technical, and exploratory exercise, with the intention of recovering a personal memory and generating in the viewer the experience of memory and memory itself as a common reference. The text is divided into three chapters: the first presents the theoretical part of the work, the second discusses the methodological and practical guidelines from which the work is created, and the third consists of the texts that are part of the works. The author seeks to articulate these memories with biographical images that are represented, abstracted, and complemented by objects, spaces, colors, shapes, and gestures, relating them temporally and mentally with pictorial explorations.

The author proposes to create, both in the image and in the text, an allegory between the past brought to the present through memory. This work is based on how these two concepts are configured, since memories speak from the experience of what happened, and objects reflect the author's current environment. For the realization of the present work, two methodological concepts have been developed: Memory and Life-Graphic Analysis. The Life-Graphic Analysis proposes three fundamental points: collection of photographs and images, development of short stories based on memory, and configuration of a creative framework for new images with references to the objects, memories, and texts developed.
