I am a multidisciplinary visual artist, researcher, and photographer. My practice explores the intersections of photography, history, and representations of nature from critical, sensory, and scientific perspectives. I address territory and spacetime from displacement, landscape, and the Anthropocene, questioning the role of the photographic apparatus as a tool for visual indoctrination. I combine photography, video, collage, sound, archive, and digital media in installations that deconstruct and reconfigure the image. I have undertaken five solo exhibitions and participated in collective shows, festivals, and art fairs across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. I also lead curatorial projects and work on research of historical photographic archives. I founded Galería Pública, a platform dedicated to promoting Peruvian contemporary photography.
