PERSONAL STATEMENT
Luiza Prado, Brazilian artist currently living in Berlin. Specialized in photography, mix-media, performance, noise,
video and installation.
I define my work as transdisciplinar by the integration and search of solutions through the intersection between art and
sciences. Despite having an undefined horizon, they integrate, organize and marge, keeping the body as the character
that transits between macro and micro, public and private.
The body becomes pivotal in an aesthetics full of rituals and ancestral signs, keeping it close to the material that constitutes, this same material that stimulates the denial and disgust. I consider this composition a developer mechanism of an
aesthetics considered alternative, expanded and a lot of times organic, processing in platforms in times traditional and
technical; fluids, blood, remains, oxidation, putrefaction and recycling.
The feminine, the (de)colonization, deconstruction of privileges, syncretism, indigenous issues, gender, politics and psychosis - these subjects, among others, are frequent in my work that is triggered by my own biography.
Just like insanity, art wasn’t a choice, it was a need. I view in art a kind of resistance and liberation, a reprocessor method and multiple perspectives without development limits, questioning and mostly inclusive.
