Telma Hoyler (São Paulo, 1988) is a visual artist and academic researcher. Holds a PhD in political science at the University of São Paulo (2017-2022) with exchange periods in Sciences Po (Paris, 2019-2020) and the University College London (Londres, 2023).
​
She researches human interactions considering their multiple possibilities: in time, in space, between humans and non-humans. In the field of political sociology, she studies the topic by focusing on representation and democracy. Since 2017, the artist seeks to translate into the visual universe reflections and sensations aroused throughout her extensive ethnographic research with bureaucrats, politicians and territorial mobilizers. By diving into these interactions, she collects, reorganizes and presents us institutional artifacts of politics.
​
Considering the subject of interaction as a guide, the artist is also interested in those that happen in the opposite direction, from the inside out. Diving into her own psyche, she thus explores the reverses, the bounderies, the loose and entangled threads. Her search is to multiply our frontiers of contact.
​
Telma creates from multiple languages, including writing, sewing, collage, drawing and sound installations.
Among her works, textile language and the continuous production of series over time stand out, as well as site-specific works, produced through interaction with the exhibition space.
