Abstract

Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyze a very coherent nucleus of photographs by Nuno Matos, where the common denominators pass through the woman's body freed or subjected, who hides/shows in a work of “chiaroscuro,” or rather, in an evocative dimness that appeals to the memory of desire and whose reconstruction is merely pointed out. Additionally, this article shows a reflection of Nuno Matos’s influences during pandemic days, with the photographer exploring the shadows and light in the perception of the image of the woman's body.
