  • Catalogue Essay

    The theme of anonymity is ever present in the work of Rosângela Rennó. Utilizing photographs and photo negatives that she has appropriated, Rennó creates compositions that permit the viewer to speculate about the identities of the figures they are confronted with. In Imagus Dei #2, Rennó presents an enigmatic creation: a silhouette photograph within an exquisite pendulum. By including the photograph inside a three-dimensional object, Rennó has blurred the lines between two-dimensional photography and three- dimensional sculpture.
