Albano Afonso

In his photographs, installations, projections and objects, Albano Afonso explores Light, the intangible element that makes the vision of the world possible. Afonso investigates the anatomy of light: its intensity or softness, its capacity to illuminate and darken, its sources, its symbolic and utilitarian uses and its beauty. In addition to light, it is time and, consequently, movement, the other elements from which he constructs his story. In the series "Self-portrait as Light", he also explores his own identity reflected in windows and mirrors with the camera's flash on, effectively replacing his head with an impressive explosion of pure light. Also in his recent mobile sculptures of bronze pieces, the self-portrait and time are the motifs of his interest.
