Hypothesis by Claudio Mortensen
Jan 8, 2019
The central idea for Hypothesis Project came to me during a theatrical performance, that I had the opportunity to photograph in 2016. Once the performance started, immediately came to my mind, a memory of part of poem from a Brazilian poet, Carlos Drummond de Andrade.

The Anonymous Artists
Dec 19, 2018
By what mechanism do I see beauty in decay or distress? Why does a defaced-distressed message incite me? And, how can defacement delineate the mundane mess, from aesthetic magic?

Abstract photography

Not A Feast by Jady Bates
Nov 28, 2018
