Vanila Netto

Inspired by architecture and design, Brazilian-born Vanila Netto explores the relationship between pleasure and austerity in today’s consumer culture. She says: ‘I am interested in subverting the symbolic power of goods and utility by making photographs that suggest alternative systems, where modest, underrated sources are invested with unusual functionality and nobility. The human figure and selected discarded objects or materials are reconfigured to emphasise the intense, the unexpected, and the unusual in simple, improvised interventions.’
