Aldo SOARES (1960) - Lot 282

Aldo SOARES (1960) Ostriches, 1994 Silver print Signed, titled, dated on back Dimensions including margins: 30 x 24 cm Note: In this image, Soares isolates the ostrich silhouette as an almost unreal presence, emerging from a blurred, luminous background. The contrast between the sharpness of the neck and the indistinctness of the background creates a sensation of strangeness: the animal seems both close and elusive. Far from an animal anecdote, the photograph plays on a tension between curiosity and distance, between familiarity and strangeness. The ostrich's gaze, frontal yet enigmatic, transforms the scene into a silent encounter, where the real slowly shifts towards a form of fiction.
