Paulo Nozolino - Loaded Shine, Makulatur, Bone lonely & Far Cry - 2005-2018

4 livres de Paulo Nozolino :

Makulatur (2011)
Makulator is an atmospheric and sincere response to the death of Paulo Nozolino’s (*1955) 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.

Bone lonely (2011)
A suite of thirty-two photographs by Nozolino accompanied by thirty-two poems by Rui Baião, bone lonely is a meditation on one of the most intense yet simultaneously subtle human states: loneliness. “A man stands in the middle of destruction, feeling unbelievably lonely. He makes deaf images during his blind walks. Dwelling with thoughts about the loss in all conflicts, the feeling that all systems fail and the certainty that nothing lasts forever. He wonders what light shines in loneliness, what sounds come out of a moving body, what can fill the absence. He has no answers. He sees silent panic, he hears reports on people, he smells the mould, he feels the flesh aging and he tastes the drysaliva in his mouth. There seems to be no escape. He has a word pounding inside his head: resist, resist… bone lonely."

Loaded Shine (2018)
Taken between 2008 and 2013 in New York, Lisbon, Paris and Berlin as well as in the French and Portuguese countryside, these photographs by Paulo Nozolino bear his usual dark symbolic syntax. Still using 35mm film and occasionally a flash, this tight sequence of vertical pictures shows us, once again, his everlasting concern for the state of the world and his quest for the pure, true, non-manipulated analogic image.
