Manuel Vason

Manuel Vason (b. 1974) is a visual artist exploring photography as a philosophical prism through which to engage with others, reflect on the self and expand the imaginal. In particular, Vason considers the act of photographing as a durational performance of focusing attention and as an exercise of connection with the unfamiliar.

In 2019, Vason completed a PhD at the University for Creative Arts (UK) investigating the frictional interdependency between photography and performance art. Since 1999, Vason has collaborated with more than two hundred and fifty international performance artists, produced six publications and exhibited in numerous institutions worldwide.
