Street Photography nominee

Due to Covid-19, streets were more or less emptied all across Europe. Germany was not among the countries assuming extreme restrictions and, nonetheless, cities as Münich were deserted. The human presence here speaks, therefore, trough messages and signs in the walls. More than ever, graffitis and urban arts can be understood as the political language (the language of the polis) par excellence. More than ever, the human presence depends on a certain absence and a certain void.

I'm a 33-year-old Colombian PhD candidate in Philosophy, specializing in Nietzsche and Modernity at the Universitat de Barcelona. Splitting my time between Barcelona and Munich, I engage not only in rigorous academic pursuits but also contribute actively to the public discourse. This includes a regular column (mostly on science and the arts) published in one of the most esteemed newspapers in my region and country.

Beyond academia, I'm an avid amateur photographer, drawn to the philosophical and political dimensions of visual arts. My interests lie at the intersection of aesthetics, philosophy, nature and politics.

In 2021, I received a nomination in the amateur category (street photography) at the 7th Fine Art Photography Awards. This awareness fuels my passion to explore the multifaceted dimensions of visual expression.
