As readings of the world, photography offers different comprehensive possibilities for learning and building experiences, a way to unveil them, transform them into raw meat, full of senses, interconnecting the self and the other.
It invites those involved to dive into the fabric of memory, to discover with complicity the lost experiences, unsettling strangeness, presence and absence, in endless transmutation.
The work permeates between the "me-other", creator and transformer of the bonds and the founding states of human nature, summon us to the encounter, and give us breath in the midst of absence. It is an appropriate territory for meeting and welcoming an intimacy in which human nature is not ripped out from the soul.

Claudia Missailidis was born in Brazil. She is an undergraduate student in Visual Arts at Universidade Veiga de Almeida. She previously studied Biology and Physics at Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Her first steps in photography were taken in late 2018 at the Núcleo de Estudos em Fotografia Contemporânea of the Sociedade Fluminense de Fotografia. Claudia develops personal projects, particularly those exploring visual poetics as a means of personal expression and the construction of meaning. Her photographic work is characterized by an intimate view of the world and spaces of affection, bringing to life the unique bond between people or between individuals and their places of emotional connection.
