Paulo Nazareth

Biography

Paulo Nazareth works with video, photography and objects. He was born in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, where he studied linguistics and visual arts. His art is often interdisciplinary and marked by autobiographical influences. Nazareth is concerned with the history and present of Brazil, which for him is a conglomerate of a wide variety of influences, making any unified society or collective memory impossible. He has received a number of Brazilian awards, has exhibited in a large number of group and solo exhibitions, both in Brazil and internationally, and in 2013 was selected for the Venice Biennale and the Lyon Bienale.
