Ricardo S. Franco (Brazil) is a visual artist whose practice, initiated in 2013, processes states of collapse and entropy. His production utilizes the photographic apparatus as a system for recording borderline events, where the instability of matter and the displacement of the body act as indices of physical exhaustion and an investigation of the Sublime. His institutional trajectory, marked by the inclusion of works in the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts of São Paulo (MUBA), features solo exhibitions at the aforementioned Museum — curated by Vanilson Luis de Melo Coimbra with critical texts by Natalia Costa Rugnitz and Daniela Kaplan — and at Museo La Paloma (Uruguay), curated by Carola Garcia. He has participated in group exhibitions at Casa de Cultura Gerson Pinheiro (curated by Aline Reis) and Casa Galeria A Plena Luna (Uruguay) as a guest artist. Franco investigates the loss of vital energy and biological entropy, treating the image as the material residue of the confrontation between the fluid and the solid.
