Two parts, theoretical and practical, compose the dissertation, built simultaneously to develop the concept of the body of image . The first part explains the concept of the body of image by comparing it to a system composed of images. Is formation or construction it’s explained by saying that images that are on the surface, are as overlapping layers like skin. The skin is considered the body shell, consisting of assembly parts/images. The second part is dedicated to the study of the formation, transformation and mutability of the body of image. To understand this processes is made an analogy with the processes that occur in the terrestrial body. On one hand, is used the process of stratification to explain the building up, of the surface of the bodies, by overlapping layers of matter/images, on the other hand, the process of destratification (Deleuze, 2007: 66) that explains the defragmentation of the bodies of images, due to the occurrence of chaos, excessive image and entropy. Destratification develops the formless (Bataille, 1929: 41) and nameless (Beckett, 1949) operation, in order to create conditions under which no longer exist recognizable images. The body of image ceases to exist resulting Bodiless situations/matter. In the third part it’s presented the practical component named The Tree of Estapafúrdios, composed by a group of Experiences that shows the different phases of the body of image during its existence
