Andrés Galeano

Andrés Galeano (Mataró, 1980) graduated in Philosophy from the UB of Barcelona (2003), in Photography from the FFS Stuttgart (2006, Germany), and in Free Art from the KHB Berlin (2012). His work is interdisciplinary and encompasses media such as photography, video, and performance.

His work focuses on the amateur use of photography and the democratization and expansion of the photographic device. As a post-photographer, he recycles iconographies and rediscovers moments (Kodak or Google) in which photography—apparently naive—reflects on itself, creating an unexpected metadiscourse.

Among her notable projects are Unknown Photographers, which explores the photograph's desire to transcend the instant through the analog photo album; Afotos, which investigates the concept of the non-photo; Google In View, which explores the Google Street View device and its pretensions of divine omniscience (Godgle); The Eternal Photo, which performs an autopsy of the photo-porcelain on cemetery tombstones; and her most recent, The Weight of the Clouds, which analyzes the representation of the Internet and the Cloud.
