Bio
Jorge
Miño is one of the most renowned Argentine photographers. He creates
large-format photographs in transitory and moving architectures,
spatialities that suggest the infinite and constant change in the
perception of those who circulate through them visually. The visual
resources that Miño uses to construct his photographs seem to come
from the pictorial tradition. They are perceived in the composition,
the use of color, and the range of textures. The ghostly quality of
the strictly figurative images, alongside other images that border on
the abstract, suggest the immanence of time and that which is no
longer materially present but lingers on in the distance.
