JOÃO
MAIO





PORTO, 2004


Multidisciplinary artist working with installation, photography, video, drawing and painting.

The work explores the subjective experience of the body and mind, addressing vulnerability, dissociation and loss of control through themes of sleep, the unconscious, burnout, contemporary dehumanisation, and the representation of the nude body and queer sexuality, where sex emerges as a space of exposure, desire and fragility.
