This article aims to undertake an analysis of the value of the imagistic gesture as a catalyst for renovation of experiencing images. In order to understand this issue, we set up a creation laboratory on the “Celebration of the imperfect” theme, in which one searches to grasp the experience of image construction as road of access to the imaginal, narrowing the possibility of an encounter with what is new.
In this study, we analyze the meanings of experiencing images, what makes them become meaningful and what is their potential to influence actions as they interact with the world. In addition, we also investigate the imaginative processes of the contemporary artist focusing on the capacity of creation of new images, which are able to cause surprise due to their magnetism and by the establishment of an intersubjective relation with the audience.
