Lucas Cordeiro is a photographer and visual artist based in São Paulo and Salvador, creating from Afro-centered aesthetics that dialogue with themes such as ancestry, religion, technologies and their intersections. His works explore family relationships and emotional bonds through the lens of spirituality while using photography and video to express the mimesis of what’s real and what’s virtual. Through tactics that turn the image into a vehicle toward the sacred, his work examines the meeting of spirituality, ancestry.
