Lucas Simoes- Nostalgia/Adios

Portugese photographer Lucas Simoes takes others portraits and burns them.
Translated to English: (makes little sense but is artist's statement)

Burn about photography, way to physically delete a memory over time what is lacking in some of the memory image.
The images that I appropriated in this series came from several different media, the colored stripe below the images is my way of showing that the photographs had not been made ​​by me, and I see them as "ink on paper"
to burn pictures, the way of fisically erase the memory by burning it, so with time, the image that is burnt will disappear from your memory.
The pictures in That series are not mine, I took it from many different sources, and the colored tag under it is my way of telling That the image is not original, but printed in the paper, it symbolizes the "ink on paper". ..
