About the Item
OMAR TORRES
(Mexico City, 1977)
Lives and works in Mexico City
The artist produces sets for each piece, which he then photographs. This is what makes Omar Torres’s works spectacularly his own: decontextualizing a living being or object (as Avedon did in his portraits) in order to gift it with a new soul or meaning. It’s about creating new, timeless stories, or, even better, without beginning or end. His photographs are technically perfect, do not respond to the conventional canon of the genre. They are autonomous conceptual images that generate a strong illusion to the artist, a path that towards knowledge: each shot a hack that searches to understand and re-contextualize the object.
Omar Torres received his photographic education from Japanese photographer Yasu Suzuka in Kyoto, as well as from Lázaro Blanco in Mexico and at the Active School of Photography and the National Center for Arts and Culture, where he received a certificate in History of World Cinema and Cinematography.

- Chicken X-Ray Photography on Dibond Lambda Print Nature Color Black and WhiteLocated in Utrecht, NLChicken X-Ray Photography on Dibond Lambda Print Nature Color Black and White - Perspex Front UV Resistant The photography of Arie van ’t Riet is a merger of his scientific background, being an engineer and physicist, and his passion and love for flora and fauna. His focus is on the essence of nature. This process takes a sense of beauty, but also technical knowledge and insight. The animals (found dead) he uses, are placed in an optimal position together with plants and other crops. This setup, called a Biorama, is placed for a X-ray and by radiation fixated on film. For this work van ’t Riet received a special permit. Because he is specialised in working with this equipment he is able to make a picture in just one take. This is complicated because, for example, a thin leaf needs another approach than a fat...Category
