Abstract

This text aims at supporting the pre-eminence of the communicative agency that every single piece of art has in its materiality, as opposed to the interpretative mythologies which restrict all art Works by using them as an example or excuse for predetermined discourses. In order to achieve this goal we suggest a symptomatic reading inspired in the works of Freud and Lacan, but with a materialistic resolution, which might respond to the questions posed by the significant elements set up as symptoms in the body of the artistic object. Their significance, either individual or relational, will unravel the wide array of meanings issued by the art work, which may or may not match the artist first intention or the audience’s expectations. The work of Pipilotti Rist called Ever is over all (1997) is the artwork chosen for this investigation.
