Juan Orrantia
Juan Orrantia approaches photographic practice as a reflexive interrogation of histories and experiences of looking and being seen. Working through color, appropriation, mixed media and the photobook, he strives to make images with a sense of uncertainty, vulnerability and reflexivity as forms of destabilization of canons and representations. Orrantia is also a committed arts educator, having been a lecturer at the Wits Fine Arts Department, and having recently taught at universities like Bard College (NY) and The International Center for Photography (NY).
