Luiz Roque

Luiz Roque is a visual artist who works with photography, sculpture, film and video. Interested in the plasticity of the image, its surface and iconic potential, Luiz Roque often uses analogue technologies—particularly Super 8 and 16mm film, but also magnetic tapes—to superimpose layers of time on his films, often casting shadows over underlying semantic layers. He uses media and the pop culture to raise questions concerning depth of vision, usually concentrating on the epidermal aspects of society.
