Rosângela Rennó: Histórias de fotografias (1997–2025)

We are very please to announce that the solo exhibition of Rosângela Rennó @turistatranscendental , entitled « Histórias de fotografias (1997 – 2025) » will open next Saturday May 23rd in our gallery in Paris!

Rosângela Rennó’s work is characterized by appropriating newspapers, old family albums, slides, discarded images found in flea markets, archives or dead files. Interested in “how the system systematically tries to erase the links to the past”, she wants to make visible society’s anonymous and overlooked protagonists who, in vernacular photographs, often express far more about the human condition than photographs with an artistic intent. Distinguished by her innovative, politically charged presentations, she appropriates and transforms archival photographic material into larger compositions, often in the form of installations or photographic books.

Her artistic approach unfolds a systematic investigation of time and of the relation between memory and forgetfulness, also visible in the social and psychological changes that transform reminiscence. She plays with the imperfection of memory and photography, both of which are fragmentary and approximate lived experience.

The exhibition will open alongside Sacha Cambier de Montravel @sacha_cambier_de_montravel s solo exhibition titled « Les Orphelins de Thèbes ».

Opening on May 23rd, from 6PM to 8PM

See you there!
