Abstract
CORDEIRO, Marta. Procurar a identidade através das imagens: I don't live here anymore. RILP [online]. 2020, vol.38, pp.145-156. Epub Mar 21, 2021. ISSN 2182-4452. https://doi.org/10.31492/2184-2043.rilp2020.38/pp.145-156.
The article seeks to contextualize the human as a" divided being” - between the totality and the lack; between body and mind - and discuss the idea of contemporary identity as a project. It uses Paul Ricoeur's hypothesis regarding a possible "narrative identity", made of sameness and ipseity, and associates the construction of identity with the construction of appearance / body. For this, it analyzes the construction routes of the subjects in the contemporaneity. Discusses the work of the plastic artist Ugo Rondinone in the series I Don't Live Here Anymore (series of photographs in which the face of the artist is added to the bodies of models, taken from the images that circulate in the media) as a possibility of metaphor about the search of identity construction, and points out the possibilities of the image as a permanent search engine of this identity construction.
Keywords : identity; body; Ugo Rondinone; image.
