Hi there!
I'm Catarina, a visual artist currently living in London, UK.
I have developed my artistic practice due to my experience as a freelance photographer in arts organisations, including The Barbican Centre and Kettle’s Yard.
Besides my personal work touching upon themes such as psychogeography and memory, I have arts administration and production skills from my role as vice-president of the Photographic Society at University of Cambridge and work placement at Film and Video Umbrella. As a recent graduate of a Film Studies degree, I have broadened my expertise and understanding on the influence of photography in film.
Projects
- Solitude Within a Multitude"Solitude Within Multitude" is a 16mm experimental short film depicting the feeling of displacement caused by the fear of self-discovery. The main character walks without a final destination in mind as if there is nothing that could get her attention. Written, directed and shot by Catarina Rodrigues & Daniela Florez
- She Made It - Short FilmIn October 2016 I went to Turkey on a cultural interchange for 2 weeks with the UK registered charity and non-profit company Balik Arts. During this time I was given the opportunity to appear in front of the camera as the main character in the short-film She Made It directed by Lud Mônaco. Its world premiere was at the 16th Dhaka International Film Festival and has travelled to other renowned film festivals, such as the 64th International Short Film Festival Oberhausen.

The typeface Sweden Sans, which is used by the Swedish government and state for official and promotional material, has been used throughout

During my work placement at Livity, I received training on how to interpret a creative brief and produce visual content to match the brief. One of my briefs involved looking at the most interesting platforms and technology out there and research upcoming launches and interesting technology which is in development.
