Born in 1980, Salvatus is based in Quezon City. Whilst serving as the co-founder and artistic director of the alternative art space 98B COLLABoratory and organising various artistic community projects, Salvatus has executed works using photography, videos and installations. Through his observations on everyday mundane objects, popular images, and mass behaviour, Salvatus extracts minute yet important connections between our subconsciousness and the manipulative socio-political environment.
His work has been shown in a number of international solo and group exhibitions, including A Tripoli Agreement organised by Sharjah Art Foundation (2018), Hothouse, Philippine Contemporary Art Network Pavilion at Gwangju Biennale, South Korea (2018), How Little You Know About Me at Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, South Korea (2018) and SUNSHOWER: Contemporary Art from Southeast Asia 1980s to Now at Mori Art Museum, Tokyo (2017).
