1970, Santa Vitória do Palmar, Brazil Lives and works in Madrid, Spain
Eduardo Marco develops his projects under themes that generate extensive and powerful visual research. From his gaze he has photographed different scenes and landscapes of Asian, European and Latin American countries, although in the exhibition the artist focuses on images produced between 2012 and 2017 on the streets of cities and regions such as Istanbul, Cairo, Delhi, the Brazilian Northeast, Tokyo and Jaipur. Marco uses photography to record the emotions implicit in life and death, and argues that art is inseparable from the flow of life. As Ray Loriga observes, in the book Oxide: «Perhaps Eduardo Marco’s sharpest talent is that of finding the trace of time in his photographs. A time that precedes us and awaits us and continues in spite of us. It is not what we see the ephemeral moment revealed but a persistent cadence, a chain that drags and drags us from link to link, step after step, from the streets outlined by multiple destructions to the severe presence of death, of cornered life. The stubborn permanence of what was and still is, like the rancor of memory.
His works have been exhibited both nationally and internationally, either in individual or group exhibitions, among them the following stand out: United Nations Office in Geneva (UNOG); Foundation Watu Indigenous Action; Nau Gaudí from Mataró; Jesús de Ibiza Cultural Center, Comillas de Cantábria Foundation and Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum in Madrid as part of the Balia Foundation auction project. He published his first book in 2006, A Maior Praia do Mundo, a four-month investigation of the 200-kilometer-long Cassino beach (Brazil).
