My body of work involves photographic and video explorations around the concept that cinema has a great influence over who we are as a culture and as individuals. I use the tableaux technique to illustrate the archetypal language of film through fictional film stills. Congruously, I use video to interject myself into scenes from movies, referencing the way viewers mentally project themselves into movies as they watch them. I am interested in decoding visual stereotypes promoted by cinema through the lens of my own experience with movies.

This thesis deals with the phenomenon of motion in the fine arts. The theoretical part of the work is searching for connections between the psychological, philosophical, scientific and artistic conception of motion. At the same time it is monitoring the formation of new styles of art in the early 20th century, whose inspiration was (besides other things) discovery of technologies, that enable to catch the motion. The practicalpart together with the didactical part deals with combination of drawing and motion. The practical part contains cycles of photographs and drawings on the topic of "Elements", then there are several proposals of simple tasks easing the creative expression of pupils in the sixth year of primary school, which lead to build a simple optical instrument. This resulting project is also a part of the actual art work.

As fotografias das revistas foram fontes importantes para tratarem das práticas esportivas, ginásticas, maquiagens, formas de vestir, comer, falar; enfim, formas de viver na nova sociedade urbano-industrial brasileira a partir do modelo de Hollywood. Tais fotografias, ao revelarem as referidas práticas, tratam de um discurso maior: a beleza. As imagens das estrelas de cinema Hollywoodianas eram, sobretudo, modelos a serem seguidos de prazer, civilidade e modernidade. A casa e os mais diversos espaços de intimidade são cenários de luxo e espetacularização de um corpo que precisava ser visto e desejado para ser consumido. A educação para a beleza vai ser o discurso norteador de todas as práticas, justificando os mais diversos investimentos sobre o corpo / Abstract: This work is a view over the corporeal practices in Cinearte and Scena Muda cinema magazines, between 1921 and 1941.
