Wall is among the most favored and influential photographers of the last few decades.
He is known for exploring the boundaries of photography through theatrically staged scenes and dramatic narratives.
Wall often merges photography, cinema and painting by so meticulously composing a frame that it can ultimately look like a spontaneous documentary moment or even a painting. These moments also reflect the artist’s incomparable awareness of everyday life and social topics, by using his own scenarios as space to depict some issues, such as poverty, loneliness, and social exclusion.
Where: MAAT - Museu de Arte, Arquitetura e Tecnologia
In exhibition until September 1st.
