Abstract

In the book La realidade es una línea (1994), Cecilia Vicuña (b. 1947), Chilean poet and artist, synthesizes one of the most powerful metaphors of her visual and poetic work: the confluence between thread (object) and line (representation), which weave a complex fabric made of multiple experiences and questionings that cross geographies and artistic genres. If weaving, and its confluence with word, sound and image, is one of the main processes explored by Vicuña (both in real and metaphorical terms), in this brief article I intend to explore how this process is expanded in the book, here seen as a place of deterritoralization, fluidity, becoming – but also of dissidence.
