Displacement
Natália Loyola has a degree in Social Communication and Journalism and is studying a master's degree in Anthropology – Visual Cultures at Universidade Nova de Lisboa. His research focuses on the exercise of observation of places where he circulates, especially within urban landscapes. His photographs function as an imagery construction of territorial markers of his own migratory process, all seen in his interactions with the city itself and its inhabitants. Natália's sensitive perception starts from dualities such as: movement vs. quietude; nomad vs. sedentary; real vs. imagery and evokes a sense of familiarity with the themes of each image. The works presented reflect the artist's study of displacement as an exercise in body criticism. Natália lives in Almada and works around the world.
