Jose Castrellon

Photographer

Jose Castrellon works with photography, video, found objects and text, moving between the conceptual and documentary realms; taking history as a point of departure to inquire into and express anthropological and sociological concerns. He identifies with cultural changes and the impact they have on different places, the cultural modifications of people and the involution and evolution within their societies. His sensibility as an artist is attracted to the transformational forces of a society, to the cultural influences of other people, as well as to the physical transformation of urban or rural spaces, brought about by commercialism, construction, colonialism and geopolitical conflict and interventions. In general, he is attracted to all events that can generate change in people or their way of living.
