Full Biography
Paula Carneiro is a Brazilian performance artist and visual investigator whose work is deeply rooted in the artistic scene of Salvador, Bahia. She gained significant recognition for her role as a performer in the 2012 (released 2013) short film O Sangue de Jesus tem Dendê (Jesus' Blood Has Dendê), directed by Daniel Lisboa.
Her artistic practice is characterized by a dense exploration of visuality and the body, often collaborating with other prominent figures in the Brazilian performance art world such as Michele Mattiuzzi and Ricardo Alvarenga. Her work frequently intersects with experimental cinema, particularly the "Desbunde" movement, which focuses on aesthetic iconoclasm and contemporary reinterpretations of the 1970s Super-8 film tradition.
