About

Why this artist matters now

Rosângela Rennó works with appropriated photographs, archives, and found materials to expose the gaps between representation and lived experience. Since the 1980s, she has treated the photograph not as documentary evidence but as a site of interpretation, constructing installations from vernacular images drawn from public and private collections that foreground absence, loss, and the unreliability of memory. Her practice interrogates how photographs function as objects of collective meaning-making rather than transparent records.
