Alessandra Rehder is from São Paulo, Brazil, born in 1989. She graduated in photography in 2011 from the SPEOS Institute in Paris. Always interested in images and the techniques required to create them, she has used them to structure her work as a professional photographer and contemporary visual artist. For Rehder, the use of an experimental plastic vocabulary distinguishes her compositions from mere documentation. After enlarging the photographs, Alessandra manually intervenes in these landscapes, using a scalpel to subtract some elements of nature from the images.In 2021, Alessandra launched the EEC (Espaço Ecológico Cultural) social project in Mozambique, in the small coastal village of Murrebue. The project aims to create a space with workshops on composting, permaculture, and agroforestry, with the intention of promoting nutritional reeducation in an environment where local families can produce a variety of foods, boosting the local economy.Visual research in small communities in various countries is part of her extensive work itinerary, where the nomadic nature of her perspective generates records in low-HDI communities. Her camera has also turned to nature, focusing on environmental issues that also affect contemporary man. Alessandra sets a counterpoint to the growing concerns about environmental devastation.
