Abstract

These are thoughts on the working process of contemporary artists and consequently the resulting artifacts that assume forms of lists. It includes references to auto-narratives and autobiographies of artists working with impressions of disorientation, impermanence and foreignness. Focusing on the making of lists, catalogs, archives and on the interest in alphabetical, numerical, cartographical organization, and thus also on the unclassifiable, on what cannot or has not been decoded, on disorientation, and on all that can fit into the category of “etcetera”. As examples of lists, the video 10 Delírios em 10 Sutras and 100 Words to Describe Images of Displacement (2017) are presented as tools to pinpoint spatial
and temporal aspects of a possible ethic-aesthetic of displacement.
