  Nuno M Santos, Netherlands

My work is centered on the notion of feeling out of place.

'Evicted' is an ongoing series where I confront what the idea of belonging provokes in me - at the same time desire and repulsion.
The images are created by photographing reflections in various surfaces, in both analog and digital formats. I do not set out with images in mind, I just happen upon them. Reflections recompose my surroundings, distort, add noise, alter textures. They bring hidden worlds to the surface. Through them, I am both closer and more distant from everyday life around me.
