Balance précaire. Lampoon The Muscles Issue. Photography Rita Lino

Finding balance is about trying to cancel out noise when emerging yourself in a state of acceptance. You get in contact with yourself in a mode that no one else can experience – the background disappears when you achieve it. The group represents the mind, either working with you or against you.

Rita Lino – born in Portugal, 1986

Rita Lino began tracing her own path in Photography by exploring freely and without any kind of preconception the construction of the still image. Focusing mainly on her personal work, the photographer has been developing and materializing it under a series of photos, visual exercises that explore a ‘natural obsession’ with the self and the persona, a continuous ‘work-in-progress’ that uses the body as primer matter to be re-created.
