a photo study of what is not

"In this end of the century, in the post-sexual revolution that already experienced a reversal of sexuality,the intoxicated freedom, the uno, triosexual and still to transcend the ambiguous human soul, Plauto, a Brazilian artist, frames what is not, the projection of our persona through the duality: masculine/feminine.

Looking for the "Real Men / Real Women" Plauto gives us a space to be what we are not and break through the perpetual social standards of our society. "In a society where we have to play the appearance game so hard, we can easily contradict our selves and omit who we are, our ambitions, our necessities. "This is a perfect picture of this conscious and vulnerable process of blind and massive mechanization in our modern world, where our identity gets lost.

Transcending towards androgyny after Plauto has materialized people’s persona in these prints, the artist jumps into the body with no face. Superposing masculine and feminine parts and, trying to find the lines, the colors and the truth of each one, he creates a dialogue between sexes, and goes beyond, investigating through his lenses the active woman and the passive man, which from his point of view are becoming closer. ‘I don’t believe in the opposition of sexuality, but duality that we all have in our selves. It’s not a question of man being woman or woman being man, It’s a question of being both.’
