Luís Damião Angola, b. 1978

Overview

Luís Damião (b. 1978, Luanda) develops his work around the artistic practice of photography. His process currently integrates a strong component of experimentation and research, focusing on developing new technical production and presentation methods.

 

His aesthetic constructions often refer to the universe of documentary photography but with simultaneous recourse to an elaborate staging of images. The introduction of this performative perspective results in the recurring fading of the border between what is documentary and what is fiction and usually happens to emphasize reflections on social and political experiences in the urban context of Luanda.

 

Damião integrates a generation of emerging artists who launched renewed perspectives on the subject of traditional compositions in the age of digital technology and image manipulation.
