LUCIENE KUMM
Luciene is from Florianópolis/SC and worked in other jobs for many years before dedicating herself exclusively to photography.
In the photograph, her mind is not limited by dyslexia; it shows her emotions. The image is her light and free essence.
In 2012, he began the project "Experiencing the Three Americas — South, Central and North," a road trip of approximately 720 days to cover about 150,000 kilometers, crossing 19 countries and more than 1,400 cities, to photograph fauna, flora, people, and document diverse cultures.

INVERTED
The series captures images reflected in puddles of water. The inversion of the photos can be associated with the mirroring of letters and words, a common characteristic in the vision of people with dyslexia.

BUBBLES
New perspectives are generated by the ways in which visual artist Luciene Kumm deals with what most people might call reality. There is a play of light and transparency reminiscent of the ability of soap bubbles to make us see the world in new ways. If her images provoke and challenge, proposing questions and possibilities for interpretation, dyslexia has the same effect on the creator. Her works demand new focuses and perspectives from both the artist and the viewer. The images that emerge from this process are characterized by expressive freedom and the stimulation of multifaceted perspectives that do not occur in the realm of answers, but of questions. The answers, when they come as a consequence, are not simple and stereotypical, but complex and full of meaning.

DANCE OF LIGHTS
The work entitled “Dance of Lights” presents two essential elements. The first is the idea of movement, as the photographs present a concrete manifestation in space that suggests a permanent dynamic. Furthermore, the
The element of light is fundamental not only because it is a photograph, but mainly because we are faced with a set of images that stimulate reflection on the grandeur and fullness of the universe.
Thus, carefully observing each artistic construction presented constitutes a way of engaging with the potentialities of the cosmos.

REFLECTION SERIES
Photography, as an interpretive art of the world, is much more than simply taking a picture. It is a process of making a series of choices. The resulting image is determined by these choices. The artist opts for an abstract language that does not seek images that imitate the world or even represent it in an altered way, as Impressionist or Expressionist painting does. Her aim is the freedom to present the public with a new reality, distinct from the traditional one and therefore much more open to interpretation.

Maternal love, defined as a mother's feeling for her children, sets the tone for the photograph. In the psychological field, it is widely studied how the quality of the bond between mother and baby directly influences the child's mental health. The proposed image encourages the development of warm, intimate, affectionate, and continuous relationships that bring pleasure and comfort to both throughout life. The visual conversation between the mother's hands and the baby's feet reinforces this completeness of the affectionate dialogue between bodies governed by love.

Within the proposed theme for the exhibition, "Gadget," the work presents a set of disorganized wires on light poles, indicating a disorder with various interpretations. These range from safety risks to visual pollution, leading to reflection on how these tangles of wires—whether electrical, telephone, or internet cables—can be read as metaphors for human existence itself. If wires can cause serious accidents such as electric shocks, fires, and falls, in addition to harming the aesthetics of the city, the lack of symmetry in the internal paths of each individual can have multiple consequences for one's own and others' mental and physical health.

I don't plan a photo. I go out with the urge to photograph and let things flow. Other artists "create" the photo in their heads and then take the picture. My photos happen with my mind empty. That's why I say that, when I'm photographing, I feel dyslexia far away from me. Because it's the time when I don't need to watch myself, look at myself, check myself, verify myself. It's a moment when I don't need to think to do it, I simply let it happen. It's in this freedom that the photo happens. I identified with the photo precisely for that reason.
