A obra de Eder Santos trabalha o hibridismo próprio da linguagem audiovisual, proporcionando verdadeiras experiências sensoriais, com planos de pinturas sonorizadas e distorções de cores e sons. Explorando temáticas do cotidiano mineiro, sua pesquisa demonstra a importância da representatividade das mídias tecnológicas, bem como suas responsabilidades como ferramenta de comunicação. Nas obras da série “Todos os Santos” (2016), o artista aborda temas controversos do brasileiro, como o embate religioso entre o sagrado e do profano, que se mistura na sexualidade dos corpos santificados.
