Dias de Sá is a visual poet and artist with a graduate degree in Art
Education, where she studied the acquisition of visual thinking in school-age
children. She was a co-founder of the Process/Poem Movement in 1967, when she
published code poems and "Corda" (Rope), a poem made up of images
and signs statistically withdrawn from the press. It was exhibited at the Venice
Biennial. De Sá has produced videos and film poems since the 1970s. In
1973, she launched a series of book poems with public participation, titled
"Hollow Out Pages." Since 1970, she has produced constantly updated
poems. "Poemãos," a book poem that focuses on the image of
hands articulating writings and inscriptions, is successively renewed through
means of reproduction - photography, photocopying and computers - and the introduction
of new signs. She has participated in several international exhibitions and
several critics have analyzed her work.
