Francis Augusto (b. 1993) is an artist whose practice draws on his unique background and sociological studies to understand the shared human experience through photography, film and research. His works often explore the themes of self, mundanity and interaction. Operating at the intersection of social research, documentary, and art practice, Augusto seeks to explore how we interact with one another, the meanings we ascribe to things, and how we perceive ourselves. Augusto's evolving practice incorporates social research methods and collaboration, as exemplified in his ongoing series Water, where he examines the relationship between the body and the self through a questionnaire and collaborative portraiture. His approach to his projects often elicits vulnerable and thought-provoking works illuminating the threads that bind us.
