Physical_Metamorphosis is an artistic research project that explores the body as both subject and space through drawing, photography, and image manipulation. Starting from the study of personal shadows and anatomical forms, the project evolves into an investigation of internal metamorphosis—where the body is reimagined as a layered, dynamic landscape. The artistic process and body of work presented here is divided into three main areas: Inside Metamorphosis, Outside Metamorphosis, and Body Shadows. Inside Metamorphosis explores the inner structures and depths of the human body through clinical imagery, such as gastroscopies and colonoscopies. Outside Metamorphosis, on the other hand, is a process of mechanizing chiaroscuro and the shadows of my own body—elements that are ultimately synthesized in the third and final part, Body Shadows. Body Shadows reflects my direct relationship with photography and highlights its fundamental role in both my artistic research and creative practice.

Surge como objeto tridimensional, como espaço reflexivo e relacionalinter-espécies. Um biombo, que pode nos servir como elemento de separação entre espaços, de privação; quer como um objeto que se articula no espaço, resultando em abrigo, em proteção de quem se encontra dentro, um espaço para meditar, para se co-conectar consigo mesmo, com o outro e com os cinco elementos.

Through a series of photographic assemblages that focus on texture, depth, and atmosphere, “The Oracle of Delphi” documents interactions between these assemblages and AI language models. The work demonstrates specific ways that current AI systems struggle to comprehend material qualities and contextual relationships in personal narratives, particularly when dealing with dimensionality, surface qualities, and emotional resonance. By analyzing these limitations, the work reveals the gap between human and machine perception of materiality and affect, while suggesting potential approaches for developing more nuanced human-machine encounters. Through these material encounters and a deliberate “kinking” of established patterns, the work demonstrates how algorithmic systems might be recrafted from processes of reduction into expansive sites of co-creation and possibility.

This virtual exposition partially concentrates the experimental works developed during the doctorate in musical performance. Based mainly on the theory of transcreation of Haroldo de Campos (1962-2003), the topic of virtuosity is approached from artistic gestures trying to raise the discussion on what it means to be a virtuoso in the contemporary musical world. Paradoxically, iconic piano technique studies were chosen as the main material,this transcreationist interpretation allows traditional material to be permeated not only by contemporary means and aesthetics, but also questions that reflect on the tradition that made the emergence of these studies possible.
