10 Years is a book of fishermen, beaches, construction and gold glimmering water. It’s an elemental book where earth, wind, fire, and water all play out in a sea of golds and blacks…a book object in itself where the printing, the binding, and the sequence all combine to glorious effect. — Colin Pantall, PHMuseum On April 20, 2024, Sandra Cattaneo Adorno unveiled 10 Years at the 7th edition of Personal Structures, which runs parallel with the 60th Venice Biennale. Organized by the European Cultural Centre, the 2024 edition focused on the experience of foreigners, émigrés, exiled, and refugees, especially those who have moved between the Global South and the Global North. Throughout her practice, Cattaneo Adorno embarks on journeys around the globe with camera in hand, capturing glimmering flickers of daily life that evoke scenes from a dream, floating between reality and illusion. Hailing from Brazil, Cattaneo Adorno’s life, work, and worldview have been shaped by a lifetime of traveling the globe, fostering a sense of belonging in multiple places by the act of making art. Curated by the photographer and Andrea Verganti, 10 Years charts Cattaneo Adorno’s evolution as an image-maker and author, creating a new space for experimentation that elegantly blends the essence of her previous series in The Other Half of the Sky, Águas de Ouro , and Scarti di Tempo into a modernist masterpiece.
