Alejandro Cartagena, born in 1977 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, is a Mexican photographer based in Monterrey, Mexico. His work employs landscape and portraiture to examine social, urban, and environmental issues, particularly focusing on the effects of suburban sprawl and the dynamics of labor in Latin America. Cartagena's acclaimed series, "Carpoolers," captures construction workers commuting in the backs of pickup trucks, offering a unique perspective on daily life and economic disparity.
His photographs have been exhibited internationally, including at the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain in Paris and the CCCB in Barcelona. Cartagena's work is part of several prestigious collections, such as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston.
In addition to his photographic practice, Cartagena is a self-publisher and co-editor, having produced several award-winning photobooks, including "Suburbia Mexicana" (2010) and "Carpoolers" (2014). He has received numerous accolades, such as the Photolucida Critical Mass Book Award and the Lente Latino Award in Chile. Cartagena has also been recognized as a FOAM magazine Talent and an Emerging Photographer by PDN magazine.
Beyond his artistic endeavors, Cartagena serves as the lead curator at Fellowship, a platform dedicated to AI-based artwork, where he advocates for the integration of artificial intelligence in contemporary art practices. His leadership in this field has positioned him as a thought leader, inspiring artists and collectors to explore the intersection of art and technology.
Cartagena's work has been featured in international publications such as Newsweek, The New York Times, and The New Yorker, highlighting his significant contributions to contemporary photography and his ongoing exploration of socio-economic and environmental themes.
