Im Luis Luna,

Luis Luna (Ibarra, Ecuador) makes photos and films. In a search for new methods to ‘read the city’, Luna investigates the dynamics of landscape, including the manipulation of its effects and the limits of spectacle based on our assumptions of what landscape means to us. Rather than presenting a factual reality, an illusion is fabricated to conjure the realms of our imagination.

His photos are often about contact with architecture and basic living elements. Energy (heat, light, water), space and landscape are examined in less obvious ways and sometimes developed in absurd ways.Exploring the concept of landscape in a nostalgic way.His works are characterised by the use of everyday objects in an atmosphere of middleclass mentality in which recognition plays an important role.His works establish a link between the landscape’s reality and that imagined by its conceiver. Luis Luna currently lives and works in NYC.
