Edson Chagas

Edson’s (1977, Angola) photographic practice is primarily urban, inscribed in physical and conceptual axes that are simultaneously local and global. Edson works in series, often kept open and unfinished, to which he returns over time, highlighting the meditative aspect a practice in which performative gestures, more or less apparent, assume an essential role. The series as Found Not Taken, Oikomonos and Tipo Passe, for example, result in performative acts performed on/with discarded objects.
