MATHYS DOS SANTOS

The Photographic Diary

Friday May 16 6-8pm
Book launch & signature

Mathys is photography student in Brussels, he is 23.
He works with a lot of things that are around his life, like clothes and objects, but also people and landscape. He works with the streets, with light, with stories. With whatever that happens in his everyday life. Mathys tries to make something out of it, and for now it’s photographs.

The Photographic Diary is a monthly book about and around these photographs.

He applies this book the same visual direction for every month. It means the book is always the same size and the same format. Inside you’ll find his life and what he found during the month.

At the end of it is printed a day-by-day recap that recounts his thoughts.
One of the things that scares him the most in his life is to forget about things. And he found here, through the process of photography and making books, a way to remember everything, to make it last somewhere, forever.
