de Sousa, Christian
The eye dances, the heart feels and the body creates I am a multi-skilled artist and documentarist, specialising in photography, written and audio-based narratives. I am experienced in freelance art and documentary commission, print journalism, radio broadcasting, projection-based installation and community-based creative facilitation. All my work aims to weave a multi-layered response to reality and human experience, to enable the human spirit to understand and extend itself. My main influences as a photographer are the great reportage poet photographers Robert Frank and Josef Koudelka. Current practitioners who inspire me include Nick Waplington and Michael Ackerman. As a DJ I work in the tradition of the great alnight journey DJs like Danny Tenaglia and Sven Vath.I studied at the University of Sussex and at London College of Printing and I have been working as a freelance artist and journalist for six years. Major projects I have worked on include a photographic documentary on the effect of modernity on the Alpine mountain landscape, a photographic book on shamanic dance, a radio show called The Earshot Cinema, and a community project in Soweto, South Africa.
