Paula Faraco, (Blumenau-SC, 1985), lives and works in São Paulo. Back in Brazil since 2020, Faraco studied photography at Ostkreuz Schule für Fotografie, in Berlin, Germany, where she lived for 12 years; she has also graduated in journalism from UniverCidade, Rio de Janeiro. While based in Berlin, Faraco worked as a commercial photographer shooting mostly portraits and events. From 2012 til 2019 she worked part time documenting and archiving an art collection for the company MCT-Agentur, by Scumeck Sabottka. Returning to Brazil, she has decided to give a change in her carieer by focusing more on gender issues. Her most recent research focused on how the materiality of the body can become a vehicle of expression, a metaphor for the subject, object, model, tool and field of reference for discussing womanhood. Faraco postgraduated last year in Artistic Practices at Faculdade Armando Penteado, São Paulo, Brazil.
