Claudia Jaguaribe was born in Rio, but lives and works in Sao Paulo. She has exhibited her work regularly in Brazil and abroad, in museums and galleries such as the Sao Paulo Modern Art Museum, the Rio de Janeiro Modern Art Museum, the Kennedy Center (Washington), Latin Collector (New York) and Fundación Santillana (Cantabria). She has published, among other books, Atletas do Brasil (Sextante, 1995) and Aeroporto (Códex, 2002). The work of Claudia Jaguaribe is characterized by an intense image research, that uses different forms of artistic expression to address several contemporary issues. The central focus of her work revolves around questions of transition and virtuality. Claudia’s photography uses references that strongly build on these conceptual themes in the history of art. Her unique method of bringing movement to pictures and creating installations results from Claudia’s simultaneous use of different techniques and her sensibility for color and creation of new forms. Her oeuvre encompasses both the creation of abstract images, taken out of context from their original meaning, as in the series of “Série Azul”, “Amores Brutos” and “Ma Femme”, as well as more documentary-like pieces, as in “Corpo da Cidade” and “Você tem medo do que?
