Abstract

Ayahusca is a medicinal rite of Amazonian natives. The rite was inherited by Huni Kuin, indigenous people, whose lifestyle depends on nature. The tribal lifestyle corresponds to Ernesto Neto’s belief. For half of a decade, Ernest Neto, a Brazilian contemporary artist, has learnt and created arts on the basis of Huni Kuin’s belief and culture. This article aims to examing his artistic creativity, which leads appreciators to perceive the arts along with the story of the tribe. According to the concept of space and perception, Ernesto Neto has connected the Huni Kuin world with the external world in his art space to create experience of a place for the appreciator.
