Originally from Massachusetts, Luiz Bicalho is a Manhattan based artist whose work
has been exhibited both nationally and internationally and found in private and public
collections, such as the Rochester Institute of Technology and the Museum of The
Moving Image in New York City. His most recent project takes place between New
England and Rio De Janeiro. The Tranquility Haze Series portrays the panoptic
creep of technological surveillance into all aspects of sensuality and spirituality. The
project is a multi chaptered collection of images of loved ones, nature, broken
screens, used showers, and sexting screenshots from hookup apps. The photographs
represent instances of mass surveillance over the most intimate aspects of life in
contemporary society, particularly in relationship to memory and the broadcasting of
sexuality. The work has been exhibited in Artly São Paulo, Brazil, As220 Aborn
Galleries in Providence, Rhode Island and in the MFA Photography Review Biennial in
Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY, sponsored by Fujifilm. He earned his
BFA from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and is currently working towards
an MFA from CCNY. Luiz can be found working in his studio in the DIAP department at
City College of New York.
