Lives and works between Mexico City and Amberes.
Jorge Rosano Gamboa’s work comes from photographic thinking and in recent years his work has sought new ways to reflect on the relationship between an instant and its representation: the ritual of creating an image, its registration, its methods and, above all, the moment trapped in image form. His work creates manufactured and intervened spaces where absence becomes visible, since they are composed of images that seem suspended because they are only a trace, or memory. As if throwing himself into the strangeness of the ghostly, his work is nothing more than a spectrum where the spectacle of absence is contemplated, where the image and the ghosts are one and the same.
