Marisol Mendez
Spotlight
Cochabamba, Bolivia (Plurinational State of)
Marisol Mendez (1991) uses her camera to study the tension between truth and fiction, the tight relationship between what a photograph creates and the (sur)real it comes from. Through her images she seeks to deconstruct hegemonic narratives and confront them with the friction of the heterogeneous.
Her work has been exhibited as part of Athens Photo Festival, Getxophoto, and Format Festival among others. She has been extensively featured including in The British Journal of Photography, Paper Journal, Balam and GUP Magazine.
Marisol was awarded the ‘PHmuseum 2021 Photography Grant New Generation Prize’ for her project MADRE and was selected by Open Doors Gallery as part of their ‘Ones to Watch, 2022’.
