His Found Not Taken series resituates abandoned objects elsewhere within cities. His other large-format photograph series play on tropes related to African masks. Oikonomos consists of self-portraits of Chagas with shopping bags over his head as symbols of consumerism in Luanda, his home city.
The passport-style photographs of Tipo Passe show models wearing nondescript, contemporary clothes and traditional African masks.
