Visual Work
Style

He overlays fabricated figures, such as plague doctors and mythical creatures, onto photographs of people. This technique is influenced by the work of filmmaker Lotte Reiniger, using space to create visually engaging narratives.
Themes
Garcete’s work is influenced by Greek mythology and Romantic literature. His series Hymns to the night explores themes related to the night and its symbolism. His portrayal of death in his work aims to address the concept's mysterious and often enigmatic aspects.
