The essay contemplates the context of creation and execution of the urban intervention “C’est La Vie de Nicolas Janssens”, carried out in three Belgian cities in April 2018, when it was performed by the artist-researcher, author of this writing, for 15 consecutive days. The action, which involved elements normally considered within the spectrum of artivism, anti-art, relational art and durational performance, consisted in the construction of a fictitious identity based on the conceptions of what a typical Belgian would be, collected in loco interviews with native Belgians and their closest acquaintances.

O ensaio resultante mapeia elementos históricos e culturais que influenciaram a configuração da ação. Para isso, dialoga com estudos das áreas de artes (especialmente performance, dança e teatro), filosofia, geografia, linguística, direito, história e sociologia. A metodologia utilizada é da autoetnografia e o ensaio resultante busca uma construção formal ...
