Andrés Pérez (Venezuela, 1993) is a queer photographer and visual artist based
in Bogota, Colombia.
Their work merges artistic photography with expanded documentary practices to explore identity, memory, binary violence, and aesthetics of control. They studied Arts with a specialization in cinematography and began their photography education in 2020. Through their images, they address social and political issues, creating a dialogue between reality and the imagination of those historically denied the space to imagine.
They explore on other themes related to the anti-patriarchal narrative with the interest of preserving a more diverse memory for the future.. Since 2022 collaborates with pedagogical and photographic spaces, with the intention of extending their artistic vision to “de-masculinize” the gaze.
The Prince Claus Fund, POY Latam, IILA Foto and Pride Photo awards are some of the recognitions the artist has received. They are currently among those selected for the Joop Swart Masterclass 2025 by World Press Photo.
Exhibitions at museums, photography centers and festivals such as Museum für Kunst & Gewerbe (Hamburg), Trastevere Museum (Rome), Preus Museum (Norway), Houston Center of Photography, Kranj Foto Fest (Slovenia), Pride Photo (Netherlands), Exposure+ Photo (Malaysia), Photo Saint Germain (Paris) and Bodily Autonomies Queer Festival (Germany) and other spaces dedicated to photography and contemporary art in the world.
