Abstract

The dialogue between art and Cultural Geography propitiates a fertile context for discussions on existential spatialities concerning embodied, sensorial and affective engagements. In this context, we investigate how the bodily-perception dynamics of contemporary art installations function as places for immersing subjects. To do so, we correlated four artworks, two in Instituto Inhotim de Arte Contemporânea at Brumadinho/MG and two in Centre d’Arts et Nature du Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire in France. Based on Creative Geographies and existentialist phenomenology, we proceeded through an analysis centred on embodied-perception immersion in the selected installations. Thus, fieldwork also resulted in poems and illustrations utilized in this essay. We comprehended that artworks, particularly installations, not only are in places, but constitute places in their own right: place-works. In the interconnectivity between subjects-place-artworks, there is a dynamic of meanings that highlight existential dimensions of geographical reality.
