Visual Artist/ Photographer

Raquel Barrocas Leite, 1994, university degree in Visual Arts and Photography by ESAP. Photography is the first passion but it is not always the final result of her projects. It is mostly a means to question things and sometimes it becomes a register, a document and not the final object. Photography as a sculpture, mixed media, installation, performance… among the artist´s different forms of expression we can find autobiographical fragments and a peculiar taste between the similarities of to-be and not-to-be.
