The constellation

Fernanda Tafner studied Product Design in Brazil. In Paris, she did a Master in Contemporary Art at the University Paris 8 and studied photography at the Gobelins school. Photography is his favorite medium, although volume and sound recording are introduced in his later projects. Fernanda develops an intimate research linked to her expatriate condition. A choice that she takes as a search of herself and that leads her to approach subjects related to the body, childhood, and human existence and its unfoldings. Focused on detail and fragment, his photographic practice often takes the form of series where experimentation and analysis juggle between memory and imagination. Fernanda exhibits her work in Brazil and France and participates in artistic residencies as part of the BZHPHOTO Festival and the Tignous Centre for Contemporary Art.
