About

Jacobo Funes AKA Afro_foo was born In Honduras but currently lives in Salt Lake City Utah Is a self-taught Photographer / Visual Artist.

“Funes’ work embraces his human subjects as simultaneously familiar and unknowable entities. His images, often shot on digital and film, center faces and expressions against environments that range from ethereal to hyper-mundane. In Funes photos, people sit in empty hallways, stand in front of neon diners, and peer up at you as they clutch the base of a tree stump. Some photos capture normal objects like light fixtures or rocks but are lit or framed to feel strange. In this way, there’s a consistent sense of humanity running up against something mysterious and large, something which can’t quite express its exact connections.” - Parker Scott Mortensen SLUGMAG
