JAIME LAURIANO
Visual artist based in São Paulo.
His works are characterized by an exercise in synthesis between the content of his research and formalization strategies.
Jaime Lauriano invites us to examine the power structures embedded in the production of history.
Through audiovisual pieces, objects, and critical texts, Lauriano highlights how the violent relationships between power institutions and individuals shape societal processes of subjectivation.
His production seeks to bring to the surface historical traumas relegated to the past, proposing a collective revision and reworking of history.
