The objective of this article is to observe the construction of the self, the character and the performance, with in two contents: in the video clip Marry the night (2011), by Lady Gaga, and in the last episode of the second season of Dix pour cent (2017), which features actress Juliette Binoche. In addition, the construction of the factual and the fictional is discussed in audiovisual contente and, also, about characters that are between representation, fantasy and memory (Sarlo, 2010; Halbwachs, 2006). That is, developing a dialogue between self and character in performances that create a narrative that unites fiction and documentary (Grierson, 1933; Machado, 2011; Metz, 1975), which can exemplify the “aesthetics of hypervention” (Araujo, 2007). Gaga and Binoche can illustrate the concept of aesthetics of hypervention by creating images of themselves that rise to a third level, which sometimes become images that camouflage their “true selves” between the character and themselves, creating works that talk about themselves and intertextualize their own lives. That said, the text discusses memory, fiction, and documentary, questioning the self, the character and the performance, through the analyses of the two artists in question, mentioning the concept of hyper-reality (Baudrillard, 1981) observed in the two narratives.
