This is a set of three photos stuck on paper. Each shows the same person in a dim room, shirtless, with a red curtain behind them. The lighting is warm and dim, making the skin look smooth. The person’s face changes slightly in each photo—sometimes they’re looking straight ahead, sometimes slightly to the side. The photos were made in 1973 using a special print process. The artist wrote notes on the paper, like *"l'après-midi quasi evening"* and *"Romero."* The red curtain and soft lighting give the images a quiet, intimate feel. Look up Hélio Oiticica next to see more of his work.
