Bio

Renato França (Rio de Janeiro, 1991) is a Brazilian-Spanish visual artist and photographer based in Barcelona.

His practice investigates how the body negotiates with light and constructs meaning through unstable visual experiences.

His first photographic archive was shaped over seven years of continuous movement across different continents, without a fixed place of residence. This experience—marked by mobility, memory, and reduced vision—profoundly transformed his relationship with images and the processes of perception.

Through photography and expanded visual languages, his work explores perception, sensory experience, and the ways in which we construct meaning from unstable visual experiences.

He is currently developing Afterlight, a project that examines how we build trust in what we see when visual stability can no longer be taken for granted.
