Humberto Lemos - Atemporal #02

This photograph was taken with a digital camera and printed on fine art museum-grade paper. The images in the Atemporal series evoke a world where everything existed only as matter at rest. The stones, in their silent monumental presence, are portrayed as presences. The choice of black and white reinforces this sense of being out of time, as if we were looking at the record of an archetypal memory of the world. The formal simplicity and the rawness of the compositions reveal an aesthetic of completeness: there is no excess, only the essential: mass, form, light, and shadow.

Humberto Lemos was born in Brazil, 1959. He has been a photographer for 40 years, with his current production essentially focused on authorial photographs.

His works invite us to contemplate landscapes that seem to be from other worlds. Images that remind us of how small we are, where emptiness and silence are exalted as protagonists in the absence of human elements.

Based in Portugal, Humberto travels in search of photographs without addresses—he created the concept of Imaginary Landscapes, deconstructing places and their referents, producing images that come out of the obvious geographic expectations. He works with minimalism influenced by Oriental influences.
