The work project starts with an analysis on the art system and the 'cultural industry' in a critical approach to its fraudulent trade as identified by Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer in the book 'The Dialectic of Enlightenment', seeking to confront the thesis originated at the Frankfurt School with other contemporary thinkers. Giorgio Agamben's definition of ‘contemporary’ is used to synthesize the artist's role by demonstrating its importance in the construction and configuration of the real as being the ‘expanded field of the expanded field of sculpture: life’. The focus will be on what defines an artist in activity, the importance of concrete experience for the genesis of a creator (academy), their respective processes of creation in Art and consequent reified artistic manifestations. The potential of art as a catalyst for change in the world is analyzed using works by artists already consecrated in the history of the arts throughout the twentieth century. This same potential is also translated by analyzing the work of contemporary artists whose projects have some conceptual similarities and repercussions in the real. The transfer of these analyzes into contemporary times results in an explanatory and self-referential approach to the project developed under the artistic pseudonym Segismundo, with particular emphasis on art research processes, in order to create a disruptive situation in the real as it was defined by the Situationist International and therefore highlighting the role of the artist in society and his ability to intervene in the real (World). Art as creation of possibilities. Aletheia: the unveiling of the real. The contemporary samizdat. About the total work of art as a collective work. Creation of a myth.
