Graciela Sacco has a degree in Fine Arts of the National University of Rosario. She has also been teaching "Issues in Latin American Art of the XX Century" in this university. Nowadays she coordinates creative workshops, and teaches courses and seminars in graphic techniques. She is also investigating the impact of light in the aesthetic realm.

Sacco is well known for her theoretical works dedicated to investigate the 1960's aesthetic avant-garde in Argentina, as well as for her book "Solar Writings" in which she investigates the heliographic technique applied to the arts. Since 1982 she has participated in numerous solo and collective exhibitions both nationally and internationally. Her concern for the relationship between art and everyday life has driven her to intervene in public and private spaces.

Her early work is well known for her use of heliography (sun writing), an early photographic technique involving the transfer of an image by placing it on a chemically treated surface exposed to sunlight. Sacco also employs a technique she refers to as photoserigraphy, which enables her to imprint thrown shadows on transparent acrylic sheets. By manipulating light and shadow, radically cropping images of the human body, and blowing up photographs of crowds and demonstrations, her work touches on the political by focusing on the human.

She was invited for the Atlantic center for the Arts as a Master Artists-in-Residence program in September of 2005, Florida. U.S.A. She was invited to do a residence in Delfina Studio, London during the summer of 2002 and in la Cite des Artes, Paris during the winter of 2003.
