Délio Jasse
Born in Angola in 1980.
Lives and works in Milan.
In his photographic work, Délio Jasse often interweaves found images with clues from past lives (photos of found passports, family albums) to draw connections between the photographer - particularly the concept of the ‘latent image’ - and memory.
Jasse is known for experimenting with analogue photographic printing processes, including cyanotype, platinum and early printing processes such as ‘Van Dyke Brown’, as well as developing his own printing techniques. He uses analogue processes to subvert the reproducibility of the photographic medium, creating subtle variations and interventions with paint, liquid light, gilding and collage.
Jasse’s recent exhibitions include: E22 - Hacking identity, dancing diversity, Möllerei/Esch-Belval, (Luxembourg, 2022), Città Foresta, SRISA, (Florence, 2022); Europa, Oxalá, Mucem, (Marseille, 2021-2022); L’inarchiviabile, KunstRaum Goethe (Rome, 2021), Arquivo Urbano, Tiwani Contemporary (London, 2019); The Other Chapter, PHotoESPAÑA (Spain, 2019); An imaginary city, MAXXI (Rome, 2018); Schengen, Villa Romana (Florence, 2018); La Cité dans le Jour Bleu, Dak’art Biennale (Dakar, 2018).
