Bio

João Rocha is a brazilian visual artist. Most important to his research is the investigation of things which have been discarded and lost and the strangeness of the everyday life.

Through different mediums, his work strives to record and reinvent the experience of these things either through the appropriation and resignification of images and the deconstruction and reconstruction of narratives.
