This investigation is a critical reflection on an authorial project whose artistic object is materialized through the creation of an audiovisual installation named Sink.Within the scope of this artistic project, it is developed an exhibiting path that olds an immersive character, in which the element water is presented as background, and from which extends all the dynamic of the installation. Through the use of photographs, moving images, technical drawings and sound as discursive tools, it is created a narrative in an audiovisual environment that establish a critical reflection on the topic of the extension and loss of the human gesture as a result of the process of infinite accumulation. The theoretical reflection that is built around it is a result of a deepening of the mechanisms of its apparatus. Starting from an analysis of its foundations, there are several questions that arise from the implementation of its discursive system. What narrative resources are used in order to build the involvement of the spectator? By what means does its immersive character allow for the creation of a space of questioning? The dynamic of the audiovisual installation Sink which is also sustained by the creation of a circulation between surface and depth, places itself in the context of the shared audiovisual territories, influenced by the concept of Third Cinema (Troisième Cinema) developed by the french scholar Pascale Cassagnau. As one of the main axis of the narrative of the installation lies the concept of poetical estrangement, for which I have call the thoughts of Victor Shklovsky and Sigmund Freud, as well as Giles Deleuze, Gaston Bachelard and Maya Deren, among others. The body of work from João Tabarra and James Benning is called as a main authorial reference. From it, I developed an investigation in which I tried to contextualize the project Sink within the boundaries of the contemporary artistic production. By analysing some of their artistic pieces and the conceptual discourse that sustains it. I had the intention of establish connections and bridges with my project in an attempt of creating a clarification about my own purposes. This artistic project as well as the investigation that supports it, represent above all, a contribution for establishing a field of possibilities in the context of the moving images shared territories, namely within its experimental environment.
