Matheus Rocha Pitta

Born in 1980 in Tiradentes, Brasil
Lives and works in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Matheus Rocha Pitta’s interests and strategy resides in a critical enunciation on the exchange mechanisms that rules ordinary life. The artist is driven by the wish to explore and exhibit the commodity – anything produced by human labour and towards which there is an unswerving desire to possess – as an indication of the paradoxes that such interchanges contain or engender
