MERGULHO (DIVING)

M.A.L.A 2025

On his ritual-like walks along the seashore, Hélio Mattos Jr. always heads to the pier to observe a corroded structure—the ruins of Vitória’s old waterway—partially submerged by the tides. He incorporates photographs of this object and the surrounding sea into a DIVING that is both introspective and open to the revelations of the image itself—images that deteriorate and regenerate through enlargement, cropping, saturation, wear, and sequencing, suggesting new landscapes, textures, and narratives.
