This thesis is an investigation of relational and somatic practices of art as rituals of connection based on fragmentation and encounter - an experience that aims to a reversibility of the being supported in the fragmentation itself. Duration is considered here, from Bachelard perspective, as constructed in rhythms, created by rituals of coexistence distributed through various media - rituals where is central the pause and the presence of the body in the contact with the other. Following Wolfgang Pauli’s thinking, from Jung’s ideas about synchronicity, I adopted significant events that emerged during the research as connections that, acting as the primary agent, would produce time as a secondary agent. Through these connections, I drew a map for my geographical displacement. The coexistence in foreign houses, their objects and surroundings made me question the limits of intimacy and identity. As part of the method, the journey and the insertion into new territories led to the temporality of the interval (Tiberghien, 2016), a notion adopted as an interruption and opportunity for a temporal disorganization, a displacement in which time unfolds in space. This fragmentation and the possibility of apprehension of other images of time, space, and identity have become material in the elaboration of an aesthetic of duration. In this path, I carry the influences of Gaston Bachelard, Jacques Derrida, Jean Luc Nancy, Matthew Barney, Lygia Clark, Pascale Weber, among other artists and thinkers whose works point to the duration as construction or to the presence of the body in contact with the other.
