It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe - Limited Edition of 15 Photograph

Samy Sfoggia (Porto Alegre/RS,1984) shoots with film cameras and works primarily with 35mm black and white film. Her negatives are scanned at high quality and the images are digitally altered: assemblages; color inversion; drawings on the tablet. After that, the images are printed and then Samy draws on paper with a knife and oil paint. The images are scanned again and reprinted. On Samy’s creative process, photography is used as work material, but her artwork is not limited to this medium. She tries to represent the subconscious mind by creating fantastic imagery and by juxtaposing elements that seem to contradict each other. Her pictures are like frames of an unconscious deliberately incoherent and illogical. She tries to create the nightmare aesthetics. Samy has participated in group and solo exhibitions in Brazil and other countries. Her work has been published on several websites and international magazines (Lost At E Minor; International Times; Kaltblut Magazine, etc).
