Shinji Nagabe
Brazil • 1975
Presentation
Trained as a journalist, Shinji Nagabe was the winner of the 2016 Art Photo BCN award and, although he does not work in the field of photojournalism, Shinji makes an intriguing symbiosis between reality and fantasy. His pictures are the place where symbols of African candomble and Brazilian Carnival are combined in a typical Asian formality.
Shinji Nagabe's work has always been guided by these two cultures and by a mix of reality and fantasy. What can be observed in these photo series is a combination of formal, static poses evoking the Japanese pictorial universe with tropical colours and accessories, typical from Brazilian syncretistic worship.
