The narratives of Sandra Rocha (Azores, 1974) offer, through images, aquatic universes and fictitious landscapes populated by young imbibes or unique animals. For the artist, time is a metaphor, and the settings and poses are strategies for creating staged portraits of a female humanity that is aware of its condition of danger, impenetrable to male erotic voyeurism and absolutely unwilling to give up its place. Her most recent exhibitions include Estação Meteorológica (2018), at Arquipélago - Centro de artes contemporâneas dos Açores, Le Moindre souffle (2020), at CPIF - Centre Photographique d'Île de France, her first solo show in France, Le Saut (2022), at the Encontros de fotografia de Arles and Da calma fez-se o vento (2023), at MAAT, considered one of the best Portuguese exhibitions of the year by the daily Público and the weekly Expresso.
