Alessandra Rehder

Born in São Paulo (1989).
Graduated in photography, 2009, at the Institute SPEOS - Paris; always interested in the image and the techniques needed to create them, she uses them to structure her work as a professional photographer and contemporary artist. Starts her first photographic projects living in different underprivileged communities in Asia. She creates World Wide Women in Paris, a company aimed at disseminating the differentiated work of young international photographers, in which she shows her work for the first time in the exhibition "A Wanderer's Eyes".
Visual research in countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Brazil, Mexico, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, China, Japan, India, Jamaica, Turkey, Bhutan, Nepal, Africa and Ethiopia are part of her extensive roadmap, where the nomadism of her gaze generates records in communities with low HDI. Her camera also turned to nature, focusing on environmental issues that also afflict contemporary man. Alessandra sets a counterpoint to the set of concerns with the devastation of the environment.
In 2015 she resides in London and returns in 2018 to Brazil.
Alessandra Rehder in spite of her short age explores and articulates in her creation process several modalities of contemporary art. Initially known for her research and developments in photography, the artist's production is incongruous to an absolute definition of a technique or material and sensorial support by inserting a multiple spectrum of possibilities and interpretations. Rehder converts her productive research into visual manifestos of appropriation and references for discussion and awareness by problematizing from art solid questions about artistic contemporaneity and social behaviour in an adirectional way.
