This series by Portuguese photographer Beatriz Banha is about a light that does not come from the sun, a light that influences the gaze and reveals new possibilities in the idea of reality.
It is her attempt to bring to the surface an infra-sensitive, a dimension that is not directly palpable. As if the things illuminated by this light acquired a dreamlike characteristic that disconnected them from the real world. At the same time, there is a constant sense of displacement, distance, and intimacy with the world in its own orbit.
Her photographs show bold colours, stark contrasts, and deep shadows. Her subjects are animals, forgotten urban scenes, fruits, oddities, and more.
