The present research is based on the artistic project On the edge of things, an art installation presented inside the house of my maternal grandfather in Arequipa, Peru. In this thesis I address contemporary old age in its most degenerative state, confronted with the deterioration of the vital functions which are traditionally believed that identity is built on. The general decline in old age, as a research topic, raises the question of the possible loss or interruption of identity, an issue that is developed from the following question: How to understand and represent through the arts the degenerative condition of old age and what does this condition imply in the face of certain models and social constructions such as the body, the mind and identity? The final objective of this work is to present a critique of the concept of identity, through old age, as a category that validates existence, presenting important questions about the individual and their relationship with the processes of decline. As well as providing reflections on the contemporary perception of old age and how, through aesthetics and fiction, it can be understood from a critical and dissident potential against categories that are usually thought of as normative models, such as: health , deterioration, memory, the body, and also identity.
