Fragmentos. Sensación y experiencia de un cuerpo depresivo

Abstract

With the present contribution I intend to show how the plastic resource of the artist's book, conceived as a creator of spaces -although it is made of planes is not a plane- it serves as a vehicle to show the different facets of a depressed body. After a brief review of definitions of depression, we face it from a sensitive cartography following the ideas of G. Deleuze and F. Guattari, who in turn take them from Spinoza. These methodological resources have helped me to show how they contribute to make sense of the artistic work and ultimately become a fundamental pillar in artistic creation. The resulting artist's book is divided into two sections, the first one shows different expressions with the face and the second one refers to the author's internal sensations narrating in fragments, the intimacy and personal perception for a record of the sensations through the composition of the drawing and painting.
