  • Catalogue Essay

    In his series Pontus, Delio Jasse explores how urban space is experienced in Luanda. To make these works, he uses experimental printing techniques to manipulate and superimpose photographs, thereby creating a new image that, as he explains, ‘occupies a space that is neither completely real nor completely fictitious, neither reality nor memory.’ In Obra, offered here, we see people crossing a pedestrian bridge over a passage that is blocked by barbed wire. Jasse created this work by brushing handmade photographic emulsion on art paper and printing the work himself. The result, he believes, represents the spirit of the city in the way it showcases human daily life amidst the urban chaos.
