Abstract
Wild thinking seems to have been confined to the ‘luxury prison that is the world of art’, says Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. The article is then proposed, in a twofold movement, to cover some artistic manifestations in literature, cinema and photography to track the presentation of an impossible one: an indigenous Brazil. This path could clearly extend its size, but some paradigmatic points of what could be an incessant and worrying dossier will be addressed here: Quarup by Antonio Callado; Serras da desordem of Andrea Tonacci and the photographic sample Variações do corpo selvagem of Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. The latter tensioner and torsionate, in the sense that it establishes the second movement, the proposal of what is impossible as an opening to the event that would be linked to a possible new aesthetic and political epistemology that could be summarised in ‘all we are Indian’ and ‘nos’.
