Photography: Laurel Tahust
Juliana Hoyos is an artist who pursues questions related to the creation of images and the limits of representation and perception with an approach that encompasses photography, drawing, installations, sound and writing.
She is interested in the discourse that can arise if conventional modes for the representation of art are altered, if the invisible becomes visible and if the ways of creating images, whether with technology, light and her own gesture, show dichotomies of human experience.
Interrogating representation, the poetics of observation come into clear focus, oscillating between fact and fiction. The dimension of fiction and imagination, as well as the influence of technology, culture, politics and history on ways of seeing, relating and fixing meaning emerge in her exploration.
The viewer's participation is an active part of the creation and experience of her work.
