Alejandro Ramirez
was born in Columbia. He studied filmmaking at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia in Bogota and holds a MFA in Fine Arts from Utrecht Graduate School of Visual Art and Design (MaHKU). His art focuses on the intersection of media, cinema, political discourse, economy and memory. In his most recent work, he researches the role of architecture, ideology and perception as they confront migration and economic processes. He tracks ideological transformations using speculation, science fiction, philosophy and improvisation as meanings to create alternative ways to read reality: Elements are often placed together using storytelling as “glue,” while blurring frontiers between fact and fiction. His work has been shown at Fotologia 6 in Bogota, 1st Tbilisi Triennial (Georgia) and GRID International Photography Festival in Amsterdam. He is based in Amsterdam.
