El montaje: entre la realidad y la ficción. La investigación-creación y la memoria en algunas obras del arte colombiano.

Abstract

This research paper establishes a discussion between the concepts of reality and fiction as fundamental topics in the research-creation processes present in artistic products that use memory for their formulation. It focuses on the analysis of concepts from the field of history, such as truth or reality and fiction as invention, and seeks to understand how they act in the aesthetic and political fields in artistic processes. The paper dialogues with the thought of the philosopher and art historian Georges Didi-Huberman through the concept of montage and the possibilities that arise in the historical construction in which collective or personal fragments take place. The result leads us to the appropriation of methodological elements for the symbolic construction of the past, which in the Colombian context is considered important for its own tragic narrative, which is faced from the metaphorical capacity of art.
