Fredi Casco’s artistic practice revolves around archival documents and photographs that he finds in flea markets and old book stores. He creates alternative narratives that mix contemporary history, literature and a sense of uncanniness or nostalgia. He has taken great interest in the official portraits from the oligarchy in South America, as well as the indigenous Chaco region of Paraguay or his own family photographs. A visual artist, writer and director, Fredi Casco is also editor of the South American magazine Sueño de la Razón. He co-founded El Ojo Salvaje (Month of Photography in Paraguay) and also of the independent publishing house Ediciones de la Ura in Asunción. His work has been shown at the 16th Bienal de Cuenca (2023); the 55th Venice Biennale, Latin American Pavilion (2013); 3rd and 10th Mercosul Biennial, Porto Alegre, Brazil (2001 and 2015); Valencia Biennial, Spain (2007); Thessaloniki Biennial of Contemporary Art, Greece (2009); 10th Habana Biennial (2009); BienalSur, Buenos Aires (2019 and 2021). In 2013, Fredi Casco directed with Renate Costa the film Revuelta(s) for the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain.
