Faint, Uncertain, Shimmering: The Magic of Image in Pandemic Days

Abstract

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