(88' Santiago, Chile)
The early 2000s marked the beginning of a decade deeply involved in the Chilean independent and underground music scene — supporting local and international bands, magazines, labels, and concerts. A period that ultimately functioned as a prelude to an engagement with visuality, a field that had drawn my attention since childhood.
In 2012, my photography studies began at the Escuela de Foto Arte de Chile, acquiring the technical foundations to enter this new visual territory. The following year, i continued at the Escuela de Imagen y Comunicación ALPES, developing a more discursive and critical approach to image-making, while working as a production assistant on several projects for Chilean photographer Zaida González.
2016 marked a turning point: the completion of academic training and the emergence of a first artistic proposal, culminating in the publication of "Medea" (2017). Prior to its release, the project was a finalist in the 2nd National Photobook Competition organized by FOCCO (Coquimbo, 2016), and funded by the artistic creation grant of the former Consejo Nacional de la Cultura y las Artes de Chile (Fondart). The photobook was presented at FLACH gallery (2017) and shown during CH.ACO '17 in Santiago. Independently, it was distributed across Germany, the Netherlands, France, Mexico, Uruguay, Spain, and Venezuela. That same year, following a workshop with photographer Roger Ballen at Centro Cultural M100, Medea's exhibition was shown at Galería BECH (2017) and later at Galería El Zaguán (2018).
In 2018, shortly before relocating permanently to Berlin, "Sin_título" was founded — an independent, self-managed publishing project aimed at supporting emerging artists in the development of their editorial proposals.
In 2019, in response to the social uprising that began in Chile on October 18th, "Chile is Calling" was launched — a political street propaganda collective based in Berlin, working with images from photographers documenting the violence on the ground in Chile. The project resulted in approximately 200 images installed throughout the german capital during October and November of that year.
A second publication, "Vitamin D", was presented as an exhibition at Lola Fritz Foto Studio in Mallorca between December 2023 and February 2024, and later released as a book in late 2025. In August 2026, "Arde" followed — an independent and underground music fanzine.
