Délio Jasse
Délio Jasse (1980, Luanda, Angola) lives and works in Lisbon (Portugal). Délio Jasse work reflects about his condition of immigrant and how the European society exerts surveillance on to those, on belonging to a new culture, a well as identity, categorisation, registering and archiving, on history and on memory. He scavenger’s local flea market in search for and collect discarded photographs. He then manipulates the found Black & White portraits of people and social events, while interrupting the normal usage process to give them back a new history, where a new narrative is superimpose. Délio Jasse gives a new identity to the found images; he builds an archive that will be more suitable for their new existential condition.
In 2009, he was the winner of the Anteciparte prize.
