Graciela Sacco addresses some of contemporary society’s biggest problems — famine, displacement, homelessness, violence and corruption — in her photographic, video and installation works. Having developed her own photographic technique, which she called ‘heliography’, she experimented with various supports from paper and canvas to wood and rubber. Sacco represented Argentina at the 1996 Bienal de São Paulo and the 2001 Venice Biennale. She has exhibited internationally and her work is held in many institutions, including Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires and Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Rosario, Argentina.
