Rochelle Costi is an artist who works with photography, video and installation. His conception of photography as a way of collecting is reflected directly in his work, usually organized in series. The artist mixes photographs with other forms of expression and often takes them to the installation. He works with different scales and confronts them in his images. He plays with points of view causing some strangeness and discomfort, sensations that trap us in his images and make us reflect on them. Impossible to see them, you have to look at them. Noteworthy are the exhibitions held at Centro Cultural São Paulo, at the Tomie Ohtake Institute, at Casa da Imagem (São Paulo), at the 24th and 29th International Biennial of São Paulo, at the 6th and 7th Biennial of La Habana, at the 20th Biennial of Art Paiz, in Guatemala, at the exhibition Memórias da Infância, Masp, at the 1st Masp / Piirelli Photography Triennial, at the 11th International Architecture Exhibition (Venice), at the I Bienal del Fin del Mundo (Ushuaia), at the Center de la Vieille Charité (Marseille ), at the Walker Art Center (Minneapolis), at the El Museu del Barrio (New York), at the Reina Sofia Art Center (Madrid), at the Fundación La Caixa (Barcelona).
