Concertations of a Body in Montage: to deal with research and materiality after Cao Guimarães

Abstract

1 Based on a conversation with the short film Concerto para Clorofila, by Cao Guimarães, the article explores the possibilities of a research dedicated to the processes of assembling of a body, interested in multiplying stories attentive to the plurality of modes of existence that participate in the corporal materiality. In the company of Cao, but also with artists and anthropologists, the text discusses procedures to construct a corporally situated investigation attempted to the necessarily communal status of the corporeal unit.
