In the series " Os Sexos" , cacti are transformed into the plant that represents the growing lack of water in Brazil, a tropical country bathed by several rivers in all its regions. With evident anthropomorphic characteristics, they resemble small people, with different personalities and characteristics. Together, they form a people who suffer from drought. In addition, the soft colors chosen by the artist refer to the Brazilian tradition of hydraulic tiles.
Biography
Claudia Jaguaribe
Claudia Jaguaribe has a degree in art history, visual arts and photography from Boston University, USA. Her work focuses on urban landscapes, the environment, and mainly issues related to the representation of reality as a conceptual record.
By mixing reality and subjectivity, he stimulates our perception of what we are seeing, creating layers of understanding and narratives. The materiality of his works questions the very nature of photography. He expands the traditional formats of photography, transforms images into photo-sculptures, and integrates and uses video and the internet in his installations.
His work has been linked to editorial research since the beginning. Many of his series find their final expression in book format. He has published 20 books and is recognized for the unique integration of photography and graphic design. In 2013, he co-founded the photobook publisher Editora Madalena.
His works are in several Brazilian and international museums and collections, such as: MAM – SP, Inhotim, Itaú Cultural, Instituto Moreira Salles, Victoria and Albert Museum (London), Maison Européene de la Photographie (Paris), Instituto Ítalo Latino Americano (Rome), Hangar Art Center, among others.
