She participates in the Lumen / UFRGS research group, where she develops practical-theoretical research on historical printing processes at Fotológica.
She regularly produces articles on photography. His current academic research focus is on issues related to visual narratives produced by photographers whose field of work is applied Czech Republic Mobile Number List photography, but who create expressive and expanded photographic narratives in photobooks. The artist, together with Editora Origem, is working to print her first photobook, Cápsula, which should be published this year.
The artist participates in the exhibition with a photographic series.
Text by the artist about the works:
The Pandemia series is a selection of other series of photographs that were reframed to cut out the works presented. Its theme is human isolation derived from the fragility of the body and the consequent loss of mobility, characteristics that seemed to be restricted to the elderly and sick. Nowadays, this isolation and confinement extends to the entire social body, hostage to a virus (COVID-19) that paralyzes and confines millions/billions in their living spaces.
Those who risk going beyond their windows risk perishing. Using images from my personal archive, mixed with x-ray images, also from my archive, I sought to reflect on the conditions that the presence of the virus imposed on the daily lives of fragile humans. The x-rays of their bodies cover landscapes, objects and people like a reverse side of pain and fear.
