Often focusing on what lies beyond the limits of everyday life, E.B. Itso concerns himself with the factions of society that have intentionally chosen to live outside of what is considered socially conventional. Concentrating on the people and places that are often overlooked or deliberately neglected, E.B. Itso takes on the process of investigating these underworlds. By searching and studying that which goes unnoticed, he blurs the lines between documentation and participation, inserting himself right in the centre of these worlds. In doing so, the artist takes on some of their secrets as well. The result is an ability to subtly bring out the mysterious elegance of these people and environments that are often overlooked or deliberately neglected.
E.B Itso has shown across Europe and internationally, including ARoS (Aarhus), CAC Contemporary Art Centre (Vilnius), Kunsthal Charlottenborg (Copenhagen), Fórum Fundação Eugénio de Almeida (Evora), ICA Institute of Contemporary Art (Philadelphia) and Printed Matter (New York), among others. His work has also been shown as part of the ARoS Triennial.
