Vivian Caccuri investigates musical cultures and sound productions in a broad sense, proposing experiments with sound that go further than the auditory field and encompass the visual, the corporeal and the technological. Through objects, installations, performances, and original music, Caccuri creates situations that disorient the everyday experience and, consequently, interrupt perceptions sedimented in culture and ingrained in cognitive structures. The artist sheds light on historical and cultural conditionings that establish distinctions between noise, music, natural sounds, and silence.

The constructions of Soundsystems in various materials and contexts highlights the collective meaning and, so often, the censorship of certain musical expressions. Thus, her work assumes a strong political sense. In recent years, mixing scientific data and fiction, Vivian Caccuri has investigated mythologies involving the mosquito and other insects. Narrated in embroidery and drawings, these works retell and update stories that describe the human aversion to these animals, both as epidemic agents and for their sound emissions.

Her solo exhibitions include those at CCBB, São Paulo (2026); Mattress Factory, Pittsburgh, USA (2025); Galeria Municipal do Porto, Portugal; Museum Folkwang, Essen, Germany (2024); HUA International, Beijing, China (2023); Kunsthal 44Møen, Møen, Denmark; and the New Museum, New York (2022).

Caccuri’s work has also been featured in group shows at institutions such as MOCA, Tucson, USA (2025); Museo Jumex, Mexico City (2024); MASP, São Paulo (2024); Neue Kunstverein Wien, Vienna (2024); Kunsthall, Trondheim, Norway (2023); and High Line Art, New York (2020). In 2019, she presented a commissioned work at Serpentine Galleries in London. Other noteworthy exhibitions she has participated in include ABERTO5, São Paulo (2026); the 58th Venice Biennale, Italy (2019); the 32nd Bienal de São Paulo (2016); the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, India (2018); the 11th Bienal do Mercosul (2018); and the 33rd Panorama da Arte Brasileira at MAM São Paulo (2013).
