Losing the object form: reversibility and metamorphosis

Abstract

This research sets out to relate the visual arts to subject-object theories, while also exploring diverse conceptualizations of Amerindian Perspectivism. My objective is to combine the fine arts object and musical instrument, paying particular attention to the importance of the body of the maker, the player, and the object. For this study of the discovery of new territories and new bodies, I examine wind instruments Serpent and Zink from the European Renaissance and Baroque periods held by the Ancient Musical Instruments Collection (Sammlung alter Musikinstrumente), Yurupari wind instruments from Indigenous Amazonia at the Weltmuseum Wien(Museum of Ethnology, Vienna) and Solua one of my own creation form wind instruments series.
