Eventi di Alec Von Bargen

Artista

Nato a New York in Stati Uniti (1972)
Vive e lavora a Playa del Carmen in Mexico

Using a tiny point-and-shoot camera, Alec Von Bargen seeks to capture the realities of our world one moment at a time. Each panel of digital photographs represents a collection of moments, brief glimpses into our most solitary journeys and the ways these paths inevitably intersect with the outer world. These are Von Bargen’s “horizontal conversations,” a capturing of single instances resonating true with their historical, political, and social contexts. As spectators, we’re invited to respond, to react, to provoke, to converse, to commit, and to open our eyes to experiences seemingly distant from our own.

Alec Von Bargen works all over the world but resides in the Mayan jungle near Akumal, Mexico.

Alec studied Photography at the Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City.
