Via (1998) is a transdisciplinary artist based between São Paulo and Berlin. Her work is focused on ecological interactions, exploring the interconnectedness between human and non-human beings. She expresses her critical thoughts through video art, live performances and installations.

 

The artist holds a bachelor's degree in Fashion Design from the State University of Santa Catarina and has training in Art Therapy from the Metáfora school. Via has participated in residencies at Lios Labs, Błędów Desert, Poland (2022) and â€‹â€‹The Palace, Gorzanów Castle, Poland (2024).

 

Her work has been showcased at the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro (2022), Light Box Gallery (2020), Brazilia's Planetariun (2025), SESI Lab (2025), Museu Ciência e Vida (2025). She has also participated in various arts festivals worldwide such as

SSA Mapping (2021/2023), Minute Mapp (2024), Festa da Luz (2024) among others.

​

Via has presented fulldome audiovisual works at Zeiss-Großplanetarium (2025), Immershpere (2025), and Rock the Mountain (2023).

​

Alongside her artistic practice, the artist has also developed educational and community based projects, including live animation workshops for children and teenagers in rural communities in Chapada Diamantina, Brazil.​

​​​​"My artistic practice is guided by the feeling that everything within existence is intrinsically connected. Human and non human beings, microorganisms, planets, memories, water, light and technology are all part of the same living fabric woven through the nature of our planet and the vastness of the cosmos. I believe many of the crises we face emerge from the illusion of separation between humans and nature, sustaining the idea that the Earth exists as an infinite resource outside ourselves.

​

The relationship between micro and macro cosmos appears constantly in my work as a way of thinking about ecology, transformation and interdependence.

Everything is nature.

The leaf, the body, the stars, the city and the machine.

Coming from a background in fashion design, my journey into video art began during the pandemic.

At that moment, moving image became both refuge and expansion.

Influenced by São Paulo’s underground audiovisual scene and the liquid light shows of the 70s, I started developing a practice combining analog and digital techniques, mixing organic oils, liquids, projections and live visual manipulation.

​

Projection mapping became central to my research because of the possibility of creating immersive experiences outside institutional spaces. Projecting onto buildings, landscapes and public spaces transforms the image into something collective, accessible and alive.

Through video, light and performance, I seek to create sensory experiences that dissolve boundaries between nature and technology, science and spirituality, human and non human existence."
