Abstract
This article presents the research behind the creation of the audio-visual work Farewell: Itineraries of the Wind, produced during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021. Based on the fusion of life and art, this work develops in a hybrid territory between visual art, performance and cinema, and all the boundaries between these artistic languages become fluid. What stands out and is interesting to discuss in this process is the poetics of the materialities, ingrained in the costumes, sets, masks, puppets and their agency in the construction of sensorial and symbolic scenic writing. In Farewell: Itineraries of the Wind, these elements are handmade and carry meanings that are communicated both through their formal constitution (the visible) and their poetic aspects, the order of the invisible. They are used not only as decorative elements but also as means of subjectivation, transforming the atmosphere and establishing an affective relationship with the viewer, stimulating abstract fields of appreciation.
