Zwischen gemalter Poesie und poetischem Theater. Grenzgänge des Medienkünstlers Joan Miró

Abstract

Summary: This article explores Joan Miró’s artistic experiments, which range from work in genres such as painting and poetry, music, dramatic performances to dance performances, and in which the artist puts his own mark on the image-text-dialogue and dramatic poetry. The artist’s curiosity to experiment and his interest in transboundary “dimensionalism” spark new techniques of intermedial combinatorics and reflection. Miró’s poetic writings, dramatic drafts and other forms of productions appear from this vantage point as pictorial texts, visionary spectacles and dream-analogous projections, which push the boundaries of space and time, of perception and the senses. Figures of speech and visual figures such as pictures, texts, sounds and bodies are rearranged in a play of metamorphoses and shiftings between various media.
