My work is an ongoing exploration across media, ranges from performance, drawing, painting, and photography.
In my artistic practice, I contemplate about the role of materials, various media, the body, and performative elements in the process of mark making gestures. I am interested in expressing ideas about how the notion of identity, displacement, and memory are held in the body.
I develop performative methods that break down boundaries between various disciplines. Through Inter-media performative practice, I incorporate the body as a material, object, and subject. I utilize the camera as a tool to capture and record my studio and staged performances, as well as activating time, space and light with body movement.
I'm interested in the complexity of performative documentation, and the potential of both traditional and new advanced media in these representations.
Anaisa Franco is an artist creating electronic sculptures that interconnect the physical with the digital; she is interested in re-signifying concepts of psychology by providing behaviors, imagination and feelings for the sculptures. She has been working and living between Spain and São Paulo, Brazil, where she came from.
She studied first Visual Arts in São Paulo, and then moved to England to do a Master in Art and Technology, since then she started traveling around producing works in Medialabs and residences for artists.
My work focuses on portraiture and intimacy between loved ones and objects. I want to show the tenderness that can be experienced in this world through selective simplicity and tiny details. With our current socio-political cliamte, I think it is important to recognize these often unnoticed moments in our daily lives, and to remember that they exist. My paintings help me move forward openly, by presenting what is good in our world.
I'm also part owner of Pilgrim Paper Co. -- a paper goods company based in Seattle, where I currently live!
