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, and do not respond to the conventional canon of the genre. They are autonomous conceptual images that generate a strong allusion to the artist, a path that toward knowledge: each shot a hack that searches to understand and recontextualize 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.
