Abstract

This research project tries to investigate the creative process of the image of the dead animal. In other words, he looks for new plastic ways of doing things to talk about the animal as a mark in art. In addition, from different artistic strategies, three creative processes are created where the image of the dead animal is formed in three installations, which are made up of different plastic pieces. However, creating from the conceptual and the artistic generates a responsible debate about the moral in art within the limits of the bodies of animals. The methodology used is research as creation, giving rise to three creative processes as we have mentioned. Finally, to build and analyze the image of the dead animal in Contemporary Art is to understand and assume responsibility for ourselves before nature itself from a new sustainable perspective.
