There may be virtually nothing Edu Monteiro wouldn’t cowl his head for a self-portrait. He refers to this collection as “Sensorial Self-Portraits”.
The pretty disturbing collection started in 2009. He conceals his face behind a masks comprised of discovered objects and supplies, choosing them relying on the sensory and aesthetic influence they’ve on the viewer. Montiero’s photographs have featured bananas, feathers, coal, cigarettes, lifeless animals, and even an octopus, which is a welcome break from the countless stream of shallow selfies we see on social media daily.
