Abstract(s)

In this article, we proceed from identifying inspirations and triggers in the creation process and the intention of the artistic object Amago. According to Salles [1], we understand that the existence of a purpose, even if of a general and vague character, is the first guide of unlimited freedom for creation. In this sense, we seek to represent biographical moments and narratives summoned in diegetic space and audiovisual language through visual metaphors and metonymy. The diachronic signification of experiences and inspirations is built through aesthetic options, such as slow motion, warm colors, parallel sound, and the option for semi-subaquatic images.
