Overview
Born in Mexico City, 1981. Juan L Velazquez holds a BA in Communication Sciences, an AA degree in Photography, and a MFA in Experimental and Documentary Arts. Because of his family ties, education, and work experience, he grew up in the liminality of diverse geopolitical and social contexts, between urban/rural communities, capital/border cities, and core/periphery nations. As a visual artist, Juan L examines and investigates through lens-based and installation practices the mechanism of perception, mediation, and representation that exist in the tradition of audio-visual documentation by exploring the transient human relationship with the natural world.
