Desse lugar: rio Paranaíba - animações à manivela cultivando o afeto pela natureza

Abstract

In this work, we developed research about flipbooks and environmental conservation, focusing on the ecological issues in a rural region near the Paranaíba River, located near the city of Gouvenlândia in the Goiás state. The research was developed with the goal of influencing society to engage in environmental preservation and understand the importance of this theme, learning to treat nature as an alive being, cultivating affection for it and also for the planet. We explored the history and production of the flipbook format, demonstrating ways to use it and artists who work with this technique. Along with that, we present some of the environmental issues in the Paranaíba River region, along with photographical records, also discussing artists who deal with ecological themes. The union of those two themes resulted in an artistic work titled hand-crank animation, which occurs when the mechanism is manipulated. The animations were based on photographical records which show the environmental violations.
