Artist Statement

I start from the observation of the body in motion and in constant transformation, unfolding my work through performance, video, photography, drawing, painting, sculpture, and installations. I investigate themes such as the objectification, silencing, and erasure of women, seeking to provoke the viewer through choreographies that explore dualities between delicacy and rigidity, sweetness and bitterness.

Bio

Liane Roditi (1967), a dancer and visual artist from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, lives and works in her hometown. She holds a degree in Dance from Faculdade da Cidade, studied at the School of Fine Arts at UFRJ, and regularly attends courses at the Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage.

Working across multiple media — performance, video, photography, drawing, painting, sculpture, and installation — Roditi explores the movements and transformations of the female body in response to the conditions imposed on women, particularly concerning gender-based violence. In her research, the body is placed in situations of exertion, silencing, erasure, objectification, and resistance, resulting in works that seek to provoke, spark reflection, and destabilize patriarchal narratives.

She has participated in group exhibitions, including Encontrar a Solidez at Galeria Anita Schwartz, Rio de Janeiro, curated by Bruna Costa (2025). She was selected through Apexart’s Open Call in New York (USA) for the exhibition The Uterus is also a Fist (2026), curated by Talita Trizoli and Renata Freitas, in collaboration with the GAF collective. Her trajectory also includes participation in artist residencies, most notably a term at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, USA (2024).
