Thesis title
Environmental reciprocity as an aesthetic and ethical resource in artistic practice

FCT reference
2022.11550.BD

Abstract
The convergence between environmental reciprocity and contemporary art, to give relevance to an ecocentric ethical transition, will be analyzed by identifying and listing definitions and productions where the artistic action intertwines terms such as ecopsychology, ecocentrism, deep ecology, and ecological art as a central component of mediation, restructuring, and transpersonal renewal of the Hubris/Biophilia binomial. With the development of an experimental laboratory and an authorial practice that highlights the potential of the artistic experience as a sociopolitical influence, it seeks to assess the deconstruction of concepts of human and wild property and claim biological wisdom in the art spectator. To contribute in an innovative way to incursions that reconcile the identity dimension of nature and the plasticity/conceptual matrix, activist strategies of matter mutation and more sustainable aesthetic interventions, in the artistic territory, arise in the eventual interdependence between nature and culture; viewer and psychology; and ecology and art.
