Vik Muniz

📷🗿Vik Muniz (born in 1961, São Paulo, Brazil) is a Brazilian artist and photographer.

Initially a sculptor, Muniz grew interested with the photographic representations of his work, eventually focusing completely on photography.

Primarily working in series, Muniz incorporates the use of quotidian objects such as diamonds, sugar, thread, chocolate syrup and garbage in his practice to create bold, ironic and often deceiving imagery, gleaned from the pages of pop culture and art history. 

Describes himself as having been "a willing bystander in the middle of the shootout between structuralist and post-structuralist critique".
