The playful and the productions of immediacy: reflections on intermediality, based on the work of Gustavo Tarrío

Reflexiones sobre intermedialidad, a partir de la obra de Gustavo Tarrío

Abstract

This work proposes a reading of two audiovisual productions, the documentary series Foto Bonaudi (Tarrío, 2006) and the film Una canción coreana (Tarrío and Tujsnaider, 2014), from a perspective on intermediality in Arts. Focus will be on Gustavo Tarrío's artistic practice, mostly dedicated to what we know as theater, but which always moves through an area with indefinite borders based on playfulness and immediate productions. The theoretical perspective from which we will focus to do so will be that of the field of intermedial studies (Rajewsky, Méchoulan and Prieto) that will allow us to focus on the relationships established by the selected cases, both with other artistic practices and with the modes of Tarrío's work in his role as a theater director.
