Makulator is an atmospheric and sincere response to the death of Nozolino’s parents. Using simple but powerful symbolism the photographs lead us on a dark journey through Nozolino’s relationship to his parents’ passing. Smashed and decrepit, burning and ripped, the subjects swell with nuance, providing an insight into Nozolino’s outlook on the destructive yet poetic nature of death. Paulo Nozolino was born in Lisbon in 1955, and lived in London and Paris before settling again in Portugal. He has published numerous books, many of his photographs of travels in Europe, the Middle East, and North and South America. The most well known of these are Penumbra (1996), including images made in Syria, Yemen, Jordan, Egypt and Mauritania, and Far Cry (2005).weiterlesen
