Agustín Ortiz Herrera
Visual artist
His artistic practice is developed in the fields of audiovisual, performance and installation. He uses these media to activate the queer perspective in a patriarchal-colonialist context, fuelled by the dominance of audiovisual persuasion and the normative representation of memory. In addition to his artistic activity, he teaches documentary film at the University College Utrecht. He studied Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona (UB), and film at the New School University in New York.
After a period working as a scriptwriter, he returned to artistic practice, completing a Master of Fine Arts at the Konstfack College of Arts in Stockholm. Recently, he has exhibited his artwork in Spain, Sweden and Norway. In 2021 his work Fungi Fantasy and their Friends Crazy Bacteria was acquired by the collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona (MACBA).
