Aldo SOARES (1960) - Lot 101
Aldo SOARES (1960) John Travolta for Liberation, 1990 Silver print Signed, titled and dated in pencil on back Size including margins: 30 x 24 cm Note: This portrait plays on the notion of doubling and the mise en abyme of identity. By superimposing two similar faces in the same composition, Soares blurs the boundary between real presence and mediated image. The device evokes the mask, duplication and construction of the public figure. The frontal, almost motionless gaze contrasts with the strangeness of the pose, producing a tension between familiarity and confusion. More than a portrait of a celebrity, the image becomes a reflection on the making of icons and the way photography contributes to their multiplication.
