This article discusses the central role played by deambulation in the Program that Hélio Oiticica develops from the beginnings of the 1960s, even though it only captures more attention by the end of the following decade. It proposes the delirium ambulatorium as the most radical expression of Parangolé, asserting it as a proposal for emancipation of the body which is no longer assisted by objects and situations created or proposed by the artist, but rather deflagrated by the immediate and direct confrontation with the world.
