Rio de Janeiro, 1992

​

Nathalie Ventura navigates through various media such as sculpture, installation, drawing, and printmaking. Her works delve into issues that revolve around the impossibility of maintaining the structures that underpin certain Western and urban ways of life in the face of the challenges posed by the Anthropocene. She questions our ways of inhabiting the planet, our relationships as a species with non-human beings, the implications of what we consume and produce, and the continued influence of the modern legacy that separated culture from nature. Consequently, her work unfolds through the physicality of the materials involved, considering them as part of a broader and more complex territorial and temporal system. Ventura's poetics establish relationships of encounter and tension between 'us' and 'them,' ultimately reflecting on our own existence. She is an artist, architect, and educator, holding a master's degree in Architecture from PUC-Rio. She lives and works in Rio de Janeiro.
