My research is guided by the nuances and tensions between antagonisms and similarities reflecting on the common elements in the intangible of life. This path crosses the construction of contemporary identities and intimate memories, the understanding of the “self” and the “other”, goes through the debates on territory, borders, belonging, objectification and finds its seam in the interrelations between human, non-human life. In this context, I’m especially interested about other possible narratives that can emerge from the perspective of proximity and affection. Currently I am focused in bio-art and living art experiences, uniting the organic, the sensorial body and the virtual world and digital technologies.
I come from Brumadinho, MG, Brazil, a region that is home to incredibly vivid and beautiful mountain landscapes and also some of the largest mineral exploration mines in the world. 3 years ago my town was devastated by one of the biggest human and environmental crimes of contemporaryity. There were 272 deaths, thousands of families and kilometres of devastation to flora and fauna. In this context my cultural and environmental heritage defines my point of view, my fears, hopes and brings the ‘affection’ as a political position.
