ABSTRACT
In this article, we investigate the formless in Hans Bellmer’s work as a possibility of re-reading the anamorphosis from the concepts of blot and diagram, studied by Kenneth Clark in his text “The blot and the diagram”. In this sense, we analyze the relationship between body and scenery, exploring how Bellmer seeks to generate ambiguities through the studium - Roland Barthes’ concept -, subverting the iconography dedicated to eroticism and the boundaries between exterior and interior. Based on these processes, we examine how the formless unfolds from the anamorphosis, in order to understand it as a doubt in Bellmer’s work when perspective and anatomy are collapsed by the diagram and the blot, from which elements of abstract and figurative order originate.
