Embroidermation: experiência de animação fenaquistoscópica com ilustrações bordadas

Abstract

This study explores the technique of embroidermation, a contemporary practice that combines embroidery and animation to create dynamic visual narratives. Although these techniques have coexisted for centuries, embroidery and animation have followed distinct historical trajectories: while embroidery remained confined to domestic spaces, associated with feminine and decorative activities, animation evolved under the influence of scientific and technological advancements. In this context, this work seeks to investigate how the union of these practices, especially in embroidermation, redefines the historical and cultural roles of embroidery, expanding its application beyond the domestic sphere and celebrating it as a form of artistic and narrative expression. The goal is to develop a phenakistoscopic animation experience using embroidered illustrations, describing the step-by-step construction process of the project and analyzing the creative and discursive potential of embroidermation, exploring its impact on contemporary art and the appreciation of artisanal techniques in new contexts.
