Carlos Noronha Feio

Carlos Noronha Feio (born in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1981) consumes, juxtaposes and performs media as research into cultural, local and global identity, adopting culturally significant images, locations and symbols as a form of creative interference with meaning, demonstrating the almost arbitrary nature in which cultural significance is interpreted.
