“Letters that are not mailed cease to be missives for possible friends; they turn into archived things” (Peter Sloterdijk, 2000)*. The writings and testimonies of and about artists, in their most varied forms - diaries, letters, lessons and reflections - allow us to explore the theme of the creative process and its aesthetic and philosophical reflection, crossing in a non-linear way different generations, epochs and artistic movements (approaching the cases of romanticism, modernity, modernism, postmodernism and contemporary art). Instead of becoming “archived objects”, the writings become messages for their recipients and “possible friends”.

Through practical exercises, we will explore specific attributes of the images related to the mechanisms/maters that make them appear. The starting point is always the still, photographic image, and the main method is the appropriation that is made (with special emphasis) in videographic and drawing media. We aim to make participants aware of the distances that the appropriation process introduces within the variety of images at stake and their typology.
