Joao Miguel Barros, who opened his photo exhibition “Between Gaze and Hallucination” at the Creative Macau gallery yesterday, wanted to take the opportunity to show what photography means to him.
Barros told MPD Weekender in an e-mail interview earlier this week that while he agrees that a photo should tell a story, he wanted to explore more and having read many books on photography and the trends in the photography art field, he found he was most inspired by French philosopher Roland Barthes.
