Sara De Brito Faustino recently graduated with a Bachelor's degree in photography from ECAL. The artist is currently continuing her journey at the institution as a teaching assistant. She lives and works in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Over the course of eleven years of practicing the medium of photography, she has developed her own artistic identity. At the core of her practice, she explores the materiality of objects and the body, highlighting textures, colors, folds, wrinkles, fissures, strengths and weaknesses. Her artistic approach, infused with emotions, is focused on the intimate; self-portraiture and intimate space; home. Beyond technique, she uses photography to transcend emotions and a tumultuous personal history. Everyday subjects and objects, mundane elements, are her preferred subjects. Sara assembles them in a way that they don’t translate a vision of the ordinary but of the extraordinary. She transforms her daily life into a theatrical stage on which she play/reenacts her own story.
