Darktraces

Joana Castro

"Rare is the courage to look through death inside between beats and strange deities.
But one must look. There is no other passage.
From it a single glance redeems suffering."
Carlos Poças Falcão

Between wonder and numbness, these bodies are matter and memory, ghostly presences that wander between evocations and hauntings, laughter and cries, eroticism and violence, in a constant invasion of themselves.
