“Sensorial Self-Portraits”: The Creatively Bizarre Photo Works Of Edu Monteiro
There is practically nothing Edu Monteiro would not cover his head for a self-portrait. He refers to this series as “Sensorial Self-Portraits”.
The fairly disturbing series began in 2009. He conceals his face behind a mask comprised of found objects and materials, selecting them depending on the sensory and aesthetic impact they have on the viewer. Montiero’s images have featured bananas, feathers, coal, cigarettes, dead animals, and even an octopus, which is a welcome break from the endless stream of shallow selfies we see on social media every day.
