Born in 1962 in Rio de Janeiro, where she currently lives and works, Paula Trope has produced a body of photographs and videos deeply committed to the Brazilian sociopolitical fabric. Trope studied film at UFF (Universidade Federal Fluminense, Niterói, Rio de Janeiro) in 1990 and completed a Master’s degree in Techniques and Poetics of Image and Sound at the University of São Paulo in 1999. In 2004, she received the prestigious Marcantonio Vilaça Award, and this fall will participate in the São Paulo Biennial. Trope came of age after the Conceptual art movement and, as with many artists of her generation, her work is informed by that of Hélio Oiticica, Cildo Meireles, and Miguel Rio Branco. In her most recent project, ‘‘Paula Trope and the Meninos do Morrinho’’ (Paula Trope and the Kids from the Morrinhos Project), Trope built pinhole cameras out of tin cans to stress the reliance of her images on notions of disposability and recuperation. The photographs were co-produced with adolescents from the favelas marginal areas in Rio, discarded from modern society*whom Trope selected randomly and transformed into authors and agents. Through this process of image-making, Trope aims to insert the notion of ‘‘the other’’ into the larger debate of photorealism and authorship. ‘‘Paula Trope and the Meninos do Morrinho,’’ organized by the Visual Arts Department of the Americas Society in conjunction with the David Rockefeller Center of Latin American Studies, will open at the Americas Society in Spring 2007. It has been curated by José Falconi, Curator at the DRCLAS, and Gabriela Rangel, Director of Visual Arts at the Americas Society. This interview, between the artist and Gabriela Rangel, took place via e-mail, May-June 2006. Review: Literature and Arts of the Americas, Issue 73, Vol. 39, No. 2, 2006, 277 283
