ANNA COSTA E SILVA AT THE DELFINA FOUNDATION
Brazilian artist Anna Costa e Silva (1988) is one of the selected artists for the Delfina Foundation’s Residency Program. Her production is focused on producing environments that encourage vulnerability, dialogue, and exchange.
She explores themes of collective and individual trauma alongside fantasy, investigating how one shouts and whispers. Her work materializes through immersive installations, films, choreographies, and ephemeral experiences that dissolve boundaries between documentary, fiction, dream, and imagination.
“During the three months of residency, I will carry out processes of listening and encounters between women, exploring the thresholds between sleep, dreams and wakefulness the epidemic of loneliness, the devices of virtual companionship, the relationship between gender, sound, new relational technologies and possibilities for reinvention of eroticism”, commented the artist on her personal account on the social network Instagram.
