Guarulhos, SP, 1986.
Lives and works between Belo Horizonte (MG) and Salvador (BA).
In his artistic practice, RG usually brings two sources for the construction of his works: one documentary and the other affective, generally through the use of documents mined in institutional or personal files associated with narratives that may involve his person or an alter ego. The interaction between these territorialities results in works that almost always come close to a fiction, or to a tense notion of fictionality.
Affective and sexual relationships and their political implications, ways of representing love in literature and the arts and issues of racial identity have been his current areas of interest. These surveys are usually unfolded in workshops, installations, performance texts, publications and objects.
