Bia Serranoni

With a degree in photography, with a specialization in art and culture, from the Senac University Center in São Paulo, the city where she lives and works, Bia Serranoni is a visual artist whose support is expanded photography. The break with the original photographic visual tradition expands its conceptual orbit in terms of image production, bringing it closer to the world of fiction. Regarding the theme, the artist's works always refer to spaces – physical, imaginary or emotional – all of them endowed with poetry. In addition to the question of space, Bia seeks with her enigmatic images, that is, those that offer more questions than answers, to break with the discomfort that silence and contemplation cause in the contemporary world, evoking a different temporality, dissociated from real time. .

It is in an area of intersection between architecture, photography and painting where Bia Serranoni delimits her field of poetic research. Taking modern Brazilian photography as a reference, the artist launches into an experience of annexation of the world from partial perspectives.

Like the painter, who refers to the world both through the stains he makes and the blank spaces he preserves, his photographs renounce the referent to reach the features and contours of a universe of meanings: what is retained in the soul as a quality. . His attention is focused on compositional games that are created from areas of light and shadow that color the facades of the buildings, but which soon disappear. The artist recognizes and records a range of forms that, despite being ephemeral, present differences between them that are clear enough to evoke in others, if not a consonance with the lived experience, at least an echo.

There is no way to take inventory of a sensitive experience, to say what belongs to it or what is missing. Nor is there language capable of, in an encounter of signs, accounting for the impalpable. Even so, the artist carries out a possible recovery of this world by remaking it into an image so that someone else can know it. To do this, it is enough for this other person to be sensitive to the threads of silence with which the fabric of this narrative is woven.

It was in the gradual loss of his father's memory and in the worlds that he now mentally conceives as a refuge (so real for him and imperceptible to others) that Bia, in the Deslembrar series (part of this set), decided to shed light. In their private worlds, as provisional as a ray of light, but also imperceptible to many. Paying attention to the caesuras that make up this narrative is the possibility of recognizing, in its most intimate texture, a valid emblem of this world and joining the artist at the center of it. These cutouts, transparent or luminous, are capable of revealing not only aspects of the artist's particular world, but also many others that exist and resist being erased in the memory of each of us.
