The mysteries of creation: between the body and the culture

Abstract

Creativity is a human activity, articulated with clinical activity, culture offers the possibility, one of the most significant ones, of feeling alive. In a creation, in the sense of a work of art, a problematic knot emerges, as an act, and as a phenomenon, which registers a discursive form that marks its own «incapacity» of having access or expressing totality. Creating, under these circumstances, continues to comprise something enigmatic. In this paper, I invite to enter the intimacy of creation.
The sensorial and corporeal dimension of his work, recovers in the artist and in the spectator, its most original nature, displays the re-edition of a pleasure trace, and of an initial fusion. Repetition operates as a possibility for transforming, for working through the «surplus work».
This process of producing a work has a constructive logic that
incorporates something ineffable, irrepresentable, and not integrated. Part of the experience of creating is transferred to the work, as the imperceptible movement.
Psychosexual and psychosomatic, the intimacy of creation convokes, in its effect and in the one who produces it, a psychic,
libidinal, and secret pleasure.
