Abstract

I present here some notes on two books (Os anões e Sul) and two short stories (Imagem verdadeira e A verdade sobre O coração dos homens) by Veronica Stigger. In these notes, I try to look to these works not from literary concepts, but from contemporary art concepts (especially, the Brazilian Neoconcretism). With ideas from Donald Judd and, mainly, with ideas, concepts and works form Hélio Oiticica and Lygia Clark, I try to read Stigger's works with keys from visual arts field. This experiment is part of project that looks for approaches between literature and visual arts - not only looking to the contents, but thinking in formal, conceptual and aesthetical procedures that, I believe, can offer important tools to work with contemporary literature. 

Keywords: short story; contemporary literature; conceptual art; neoconcretism; Veronica Stigger
