Andrés Pérez (Venezuela, 1993) is a photographer and queer visual artist based in Bogotá, Colombia.
Their work results from the union between creativity and political convictions. Studied Arts, specializing in cinematography and in 2021 began his education in photography. Their visual identity fuses artistic photography with expanded documentary practices. Through the images addresses social issues such as identity, memory, binary violence and aesthetics of control.
They explore on other themes related to the anti-patriarchal narrative with the interest of preserving a more diverse memory for the future. Pérez's photographs represent rebellion and playfulness, putting reality and imagination in tension. 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. In 2024 was a finalist for the Joop Swart Masterclass of World Press Photo and selected for the Latin American Panorama of Photo Vogue.
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.
