Born in Cochabamba, Bolivia, Marisol Mendez uses her camera to study the tension between truth and fiction, the tight relationship between what a photograph creates and the (sur)real it comes from.
Unconcerned with image hierarchies, she combines lo-fi procedures with sophisticated photographic techniques to explore the dynamics between immediacy and intimacy, memory and identity.
Mendez received a BA in Audiovisual Communication in Buenos Aires and a Masters in Fashion Photography at the University of the Arts, London. She has exhibited across Europe, Argentina and Bolivia and her work has been featured internationally.
