About

I am a Brazilian photographer born in Tubarão (Santa Catarina), with background in philosophy and music. In 1999 I studied music at London Music School. Also in that period (1997-1999), I did part time courses in photography at Working Men College, at Kingsway College and worked as a freelance photographer in London. In 2004 I completed the Bachelor Degree in philosophy at the Federal University of Paraná (Curitiba/Brazil). At the same university I took the Master Degree in Philosophy in 2006.
The concern with the temporal aspect of representation entered the horizon of my photographic works as a consequence of my Ph.D. research (started in 2007 at the Federal University of São Carlos - Brazil), on the role of the analysis of time in the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein. My current woks can be seeing as a consequence of my interest in the contemporary philosophy of time and its bearing on photography.
Location
Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil
Work
My work explores the physical aspect of the photographic image, aiming to show that the photo is a material objet that suffers the effect of time. The photography is not a window where we can see a past event (from the point of view of eternity), but it is the residue (in the present) of the past event. In this temporal perspective, the ontological status of the image is not different from scratches, stains and dust that are collected on the surface of the negative. Read More
