Visual Culture for the digital age
Deep Time is a new series of experimental photography on the west coast of Portugal.
Albutiu works with analog photography to explore deep time, the profound time of geological and ecological durations that exceed human perception. He frequently uses expired film, allowing chemical instability and chance to actively intervene in the construction of each image. Imperfection thus becomes a testimony to the material presence of time.
In this series, I explore how we create, shape, and interact with the environment around us. I am fascinated by the ways we unconsciously express ourselves through the places we inhabit and the stories that unfold, both visible and implied.
Read MoreThe project draws inspiration from the world of my childhood memories, where the boundaries between reality and imagination dissolve. It reflects on the experience of longing and the search for self-identity, while evoking the memory of childhood playgrounds and ritual
Read MoreThere is no other place in the world that has its own dream for sale. There is no Italian dream or Thai dream or Chilean dream: there is only the American dream. The whole world looks up to this specific dream.
Read MoreThis photographic project was born from the desire to portray a Boa Vista different from what is expected: far from prejudice, close to its essence. It is a visual narrative made of encounters, details, and suspended moments…
Read MoreI was the eldest daughter in a large family. My childhood unfolded under constant responsibility, and I assumed adult roles early. I vividly recall summer days when we were not allowed outside. Instead of playing in the yard, there was heat and endless chores: helping my mother in the kitchen, cleaning, caring for younger siblings.
Read MoreI Am Not Here means not being present—and not exclusively—physically. Detachment can lead to a space where the passing of time, light and night, the hours have no meaning

Approximately once a week I get one I like, the rest of the time it’s just a walking meditation.
It’s equal parts art and survival.
I’ve learned that dialogue between images has more power to subvert their collective meaning than any photograph alone. Like a visual wormhole, I use image association and sequencing to compare and contrast vastly different images
Read MoreBy photographing what we see, we become aware of how unaware we are of ourselves and our surrounding environment. This work explores how the world is made not only of orderly things, but also of everything else around them.

This is a collection of photographs capturing the rhythm of everyday life across New York, Chicago, Alabama, and Virginia. Each frame weaves together the contrast between urban energy and Southern stillness, revealing the quiet humanity that connects every place.
Cities are like living organisms constantly evolving, endlessly reshaping themselves. For an outsider, every city is exotic; every corner holds the promise of an undiscovered narrative.
Read MoreI often dream about returning to the house where my grandparents lived. I hear the rhythmic sound of the clock, feel the coolness, and finally breathe out. I’m back home.
Read MoreThis photographic series, Silent Beauty, is an intimate journey through unnoticed corners and silent architectures. It is the story of a curtain dancing in the breeze, of shutters that hide stories, and of walls that tell the passage of time through their textures.
Read MoreThis photographic project, entitled "Saltar El Cerco", originates from the personal sensations and emotions tied to my hometown (Zamora).

The disappearance of living species is accelerating at the rate of the various industrial revolutions. There is an urgent need to slow down, if only to grasp the current catastrophe. Two centuries ago, the aim was to discover new species. In present time, we record the ongoing and future extinctions. Whether threatened or witnessed, how are the remaining beings affected by this profound mutation? And what imaginaries could we build in response to the fragility of ecosystems in the Anthropocene? Vincent Jondeau's project poetically explores this reflection by confronting his own vision of the plant world with the botanical drawings made by his ancestor at the end of the 19th century. Through portrayals of plants encountered in his daily life on the outskirts of northern Berlin and in his family archives, he probes an era where the question of survival has overtaken that of progress.
This work explores the ephemeral traces left by fires. What was once intense, raging, and devastating becomes silence, ashes, and soon germination. Fire, though destructive, is also transient. This project attempts to capture this fragile temporality, where disappearance precedes rebirth.
In these scorched landscapes, the ephemeral is reborn: a bud, a mushroom, a breath, a colour. Nothing lasts, not even destruction.
Fire Born reveals the fragile cycle between destruction and renewal.
Snow Cows is a photographic series by Pasadena-based artist Tommy Lei that explores resilience, sanctuary, and belonging. Created at Hickory Hearth Highlands, a family-run farm sanctuary, the work centers on three Highland cows .
Read MoreWhen every place seems already seen, framed by media, consumed by algorithms, and flattened by mass tourism. This photographic project looks elsewhere for the essence of travel. Not in iconic destinations or postcard views, but in hotel corridors, rented rooms, unfamiliar laundromats, or windows opening onto undesired landscapes.
Read More“As I spun, my movement became unsteady, shifting from side to side, reflecting the difficulty of maintaining equilibrium in a fast-moving, chaotic world. These images capture the internal struggle to remain centered amidst an overwhelming flow of information, constant bad news, and the rapid pace of modern life…”
