Vermelho presents, from February 26th to March 20th, the exhibition Jogo de Dados [Game of dice] by Rafael Assef, composed of thirteen images of tattooed skin.
Particularly interested in issues of body representation, Assef develops work that fits into the context of the blurring of boundaries in contemporary art, particularly in relation to the uses of photography.
Jogo de dados [Game of dice] presents a series of 14 photos, distributed in individual and diptychs, in which Assef examines human skin, in an “investigative movement that takes us back to the imagination of a crime laboratory and its equipment, looking for clues in circuits that are sometimes closed and sometimes others extrapolated within a map; dice rolls; details of knife and body”, according to the words of researcher and art critic Julia Rodrigues
