Artist Blog

Every week an artist whose single image was published by Der Greif is given a platform in which to blog about contemporary photography.

There is a refreshing sort of emptiness when looking at the photographic works of Noé Sendas. In a time where the processes of self-defining and asserting identity have acquired great popularity, Sendas subverts this current by showing us human figures whose definition is anything but concrete. Making use of existing material and digital manipulation, the artist creates deconstructions that question both the meaning of photography as well as the prevailing notions of time, identity and authorship. The images make us travel through unknown paths, searching for what’s hidden behind the missing faces. What looks familiar at first, quickly becomes absurd and intriguing. I think this is a good way to say goodbye here. Thanks for your time. Enjoy the trip. Support Der Greif! noesendas.com
