Lisbon, 1991
Lives and works in Lisbonhenriquespavao@gmail.com
Henrique Pavão’s work is focused on issues of entropy, loss, anachronism, story-telling and temporality, reflecting an interest and use of the archaeology of conceptual movements, connected to a sophisticated, poetical and cinematic use of processes. His work circles through different media (sculpture, film / video, photography, performance and sound) often with a concern for each medium’s specific processes and mechanisms, taken as the mark of its temporality or even its history.
