Letícia Parente worked across video, performance, and conceptual practices from the 1970s onward, documenting her own body in domestic and architectural spaces with formal precision and restraint. Working during Brazil's military dictatorship, she converted quotidian gesture into charged political statement, anticipating feminist and body-based inquiry in Latin American art by nearly a decade. Her early video works established a practice marked by economy of means and conceptual rigor.
