Daniel Simón.
Maker of perceptive fictions.
(b. Los Teques, Venezuela, 1998) I left my country at seventeen, and since then I’ve tried to inhabit between observation and metaphor—the place where an image becomes thought. I don’t believe in objectivity, yet I search for it every day through my work.
For years I trained between commercial and documentary photography, moving through festivals, commissions, and collaborations That period taught me to see with precision, but also to distrust the image as testimony. Today I work from that contradiction, using technique as an excuse to think about what cannot be seen.
