Poetic Incarnations. Body, Art and Necropolitic

Abstract

This work talk about the emergence of blood as mimesis of the loss of bodies and lives in a context of necropolitic, but also as a spectral impregnation of absence through artistic actions. The presence of blood has compromised metaphorical strategies, such as figures resembling scenes of violence. And also has committed the blood itself as an abject flow, including metonymic strategies that generate poetics of secretions. From the theoretical elaborations of Georges Didi-Huberman, I am interested in addressing the imaginative link between incarnate and bleeding through the effect of cinnabar red. This text addresses actions of three artists. Ricardo Wiesse, Rosa Maria Robles and Teresa Margoles. But beyond the scenery of art, I try to think what is painted, what is disturbed, in the abject scenaries, stained by the catastrophe of the disincarnate bodies.
