\u201cAn excavation is more than just the unearthing of remains or specimen. It is a process involving both burial and discovery. \u2018Escavadora\u2019 is the Portuguese word for \u2018excavator\u2019 – a feminine noun that exudes the power and strength of a machine.\u00a0Rita Lino\u2019s work has always treated the body – her own body – as a vessel for making larger statements.\u00a0 In this book, however, the body serves as a tool for exploration.\u00a0 In the caves and mines that she photographed, the body itself is the explorer, a machine plunging into the depths of places where vision is encumbered, where past and future become one endless tunnel with no light at the end.\u00a0Outside of temporal and spatial limitations, Lino\u2019s images create a dystopian underworld where the removal of human markers leaves only a landscape of rocks and shadows that encompasses the viewer and leaves visceral traces of melancholy and disturbance. For Lino, this exploration is a necessity, driven by visual curiosity instead of a search for catharsis. In the darkest of dark places, emotion does not exist, only action and self-preservation.\u00a0The buried remain buried.\u00a0There is no great discovery.\u201d (Andy Pham)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
