Starting from the place that silence occupies in the thought of Martin Heidegger as an
element capable of provoking different perceptions of the world, this research intends
to create a discussion about the use of silence as a factor of openness in
contemporary art. We believe that, in the peculiarity of its existence in a social
scenario dominated by technique, silence can cause a genuine experience in the
public. In order to achieve its goals, this work will situate silence as an authentic form
of language manifestation in Heidegger, and will also bring John Cage's
understanding of it to the analysis, given its paradigmatic character and relevance in
the context of the contemporary arts. Finally, we will be analyzing artworks that
corroborate the exposed proposal, in an approximation with the notions of openness
and art experience.
