Iosu Aramburu

Iosu Aramburu was born in 1986 and lives and works in Lima (PE).

“My practice focuses on an exchange of gazes between modernity and its internal conflicts. I work with archival images and texts, mainly on the rise of modern architecture in the 1940s and 1950s in Latin America, particularly in Peru. I try to bring these images into collision with one another, producing a series of new relationships that seek to reveal the hidden aspects of the official narratives carried by each image.” – Iosu Aramburu
