The experience of the disabled body is the focus of this dissertation. The Third Hand is the subjective organism that stitches together the fragments of personal memory, artistic practice, and conceptual references. Between the efficiency and the deficiency of the body, the similarity and dissimilarity between the hands, there is the formless gesture in dialogue with Georges Bataille that is manifested through the drawing. His daily practice, inside and outside the studio, is the guiding thread of the confrontations between the hand and the instrument, between the hand and the world, in intimate research that reveals the symptoms behind the disabled corporeality, what I call decorporeity. Left hand and right hand in constant clashes in the capture of their gestural intentions, which from the drawing, unfold in performances, installations, and videos. The dissertation is built in three chapters that gradually lead to the approaches and findings of the study in intersection with works that subvert the function and symbology of the hands and with artists with disabilities who question the normative imaginary from their identities. Each chapter is composed of three subchapters that intertwine, with the series of drawings O Monstruário being the backbone that sustains the deviations of the body under investigation
