Sandra Gonçalves blends personal photos and digital finds into hybrid images diving into human finitude, opening tomorrow at Centro Cultural Correios RJ.
Rio-born visual artist and photographer, now based in Porto Alegre, unveils Tessituras do Adeus, curated by Letícia Lau. Works stem from personal farewells, poetically probing transience.
A visual ritual of goodbyes
Photos seize fleeting hospital moments and reimagined scenes. They probe fragility, resilience, and endurance as immortality. Drawing from Heidegger, the show urges authentic living.
Photography cheats erasure by capturing instants, time documents that spark memories into longing.
Curator Letícia Lau spotlights visual palimpsests rich in memory. The exhibit unfolds in three acts: spider webs and time, waiting and frailty, finitude and ethereal rise.
