Lu Brito (Salvador, 1971) - Lives and works in Salvador. Starting initially from travel photography, she built a wide visual repertoire on the more than 40 territories she has photographed, always interested in the relationship between singularity and identity. Currently, her research is focused on the body itself, also understanding it as a mobile and performative territory. Through the use of scanography (a technique that uses a desktop scanner as a method of photographic capture) and expanded photography, the artist dedicates herself to experimentation that navigates between self-portraits, photo performance and manual alchemy of printing. By constructing techniques that act actively in the process, Luciana has proposed the construction of phantasmatic images that discuss the landscapes of the body, its erasures and reconstructions, this being a process of little technical and cathartic control, which is not seen and is not said - it is projected.
