| Summary: | This article analyses the use of sculptural cast from different perspectives that allow us to contextualise it as a relevant resource in contemporary art practices. The first part of the text proposes a theoretical framework in which some aesthetic approaches to the cast are articulated. From a largely phenomenological approach, the negative dimension of space is addressed in order to signify a presence emerging from contact with the embodied. In the second part, these possibilities are explored through a selection of artistic practices from the last decades of the twentieth century to the first decades of the twenty-first. The cases studied address various themes, among which the relationship between the human body and other corporealities and spaces, as well as the interest in their materiality and the sculptural medium, stand out.
