Synopsis
For this series, Angolan artist Edson Chagas walked through the streets of Luanda, London and Newport, collecting discarded objects and moving them, at times slightly and in other instances significantly, before photographing them. Taken out of their context and photographed in relation to a carefully chosen background, the mundane items are turned into abstract icons that animate the city.
A selection from the series represented Angola at the 55th Venice Biennale 2013, winning the Golden Lion for Best National Participation. Chagas' works were recently shown at the Museum of Modern Art, and The Walther Collection Project Space, New York.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Für Found Not Taken spazierte Chagas durch die Straßen von Luanda, London und Newport, um weggeworfene Objekte zu sammeln und manch- mal wenig oder komplett zu bewegen, bevor er sie ablichtete. Indem Chagas sie aus ihrem Kontext nimmt und vor einem sorgfaltig ausge- wahlten Hintergrund fotografiert, werden die alltaglichen Gegenstande zu abstrakten Bildzeichen, die die Stadt um sie herum beleben. Was auf den ersten Blick ein Symbol für eine Gesellschaft zu sein scheint, die durch ihren Abfall und den standigen plotzlichen Wertverlust von Dingen charakterisiert wird, ist gleichzeitig eine Reflexion der Tatsa- che, dass alles, was als Realitat wahrgenommen wird, tatsachlich ein Konstrukt ist. Eine Auswahl der Serie reprasentierte Angola auf der 55. Biennale in Venedig und gewann den Goldenen Lowen in der Kategorie Best National Participation.Edson Chagas (\* 1977) lebt und arbeitet in Luanda, Angola. Er studierte Fotografie, Fotojournalismus und Dokumentarfotografie in Lissabon, London und Newport. Chagas' Arbeiten wurden bereits in zahlreichen Gruppen- und Einzelausstellungen gezeigt, unter anderem in Luanda, Belfast, Sa o Paulo und Frankfurt. Seller Inventory # 9783868286724
