São Paulo / Rio de Janeiro / New York
Galeria Nara Roesler is pleased to present While You Laugh/Enquanto você ri, solo show by the Brazilian artist Berna Reale. Curated by Claudia Carliman, the exhibition is the artist’s debut at the gallery’s New York location and it’s composed by four photographies and two videos, all centered on “Bi”, a non-binary character created by Reale. According to Carliman, “addressing underprivileged and marginalized victims of the violence permeated in daily life, be it physical or psychological, Bi depicts society’s systematic exclusion of the already excluded. Reale’s work is forceful, raw, and blunt, as she exposes in playful but radical ways diverse forms of the injustices inflicted by savage capitalism, police brutality, militias, and hate crimes”.
