Möbius band twists the space image in the 20th century. Lygia Clark’s art and Michel Foucault’s philosophy provide testimony of it. This paper turns to the notion of care of truth in Foucault to approach the dismantling of esthetic plan in the first periods of the artist’s work. The transformations of esthetic plan give us the possibility of seeing the changes of space of the experience in the art field, but, mainly, in the field of life itself, the way we experience it. As a result of this action, it is presented here the intimate relations between ethics and politics in order to evidence the problem of esthetic formation. It is discussed a formation promoted by esthetic experience which affects the sensitive and discursive ways of production of reality

In this paper, I present the elaboration, which is the result of a question about the body asked in the first person singular. It is a reflection of oneself under the assumption that war has needed some bodies formed and disciplined in specific ways. The body is shaped from language and represents the ideals of a culture. The body, as a historical construction, is a text to be interpreted and mapped from phenomenologi-cal and critical exercises. Then, I present the systematiza-tions of two current experiences as a movement that allows symbolic constructions. I base this text on a family history reading, and how its agents have constituted the body; my ancestors’ experiences. Data are put together in a narra-tive plot structure that ends with current ethical positions in movement. I explore different literary works and find a body that goes from the force of progress, the destructive and violent men and the kind, strong and maternal women, to a fitness body, which symbolically begins to have pro-ductive loss and becomes a consumer. At this point, art and community become languages for the re-existence
