Abstract

O presente artigo procura investigar como a natureza fugaz e transitória da água tem possibilitado aos artistas estabelecer relações no espaço e no tempo, cuja experiência subjetiva e sensorial é transportada e materializada na prática artística.

Neste sentido, primeiramente procura-se abordar o conceito de memória, a partir das reflexões do filósofo Paul Ricoeur (1913-2005), que se sustenta nas ideias de Henri Bergson (1859-1941), de modo a analisar a tradução da memória em imagens. De seguida, procura-se demonstrar através de obras de três artistas Song Dong (1966), Hiroshi Sugimoto (1948) e Roni Horn (1955), como a água, enquanto material, assunto e metáfora, tem permitido perscrutar a passagem do tempo através das suas características de mutabilidade, impermanência, fugacidade e transitoriedade, adotando na prática artística processos transitórios e paradoxais, num constante diálogo entre ausência e presença, visível e invisível, passado e presente, fugaz e perene.
