Susana Gaudêncio
Susana Gaudêncio creates intricate drawings, photo-montages and animations, made by altering found footage and imagery. This involves a cyclical transformation, from the digital source-footage, to the physical print-out, and back again. It collapses the space between otherwise disparate processes and addresses the tensions between political reality, and expressive illusion.
