Sebastian Diaz Morales

Sebastian Diaz Morales, influenced by avant-garde Latin American cinema, documentaries and art movies, has developed a highly distinctive style characterised by an undeniable poetic touch. His work evinces a passion for documentary investigation, spurred by the spectacular nature of his home region, Patagonia, and abetted by a surprising talent for fantastical, sometimes ironic narration, tinged with scepticism. His intense, lively vision of the world stirs sharp yet elusive echoes in the imagination. Born in 1975 in Argentina, Sebastian Diaz Morales studied at the Rijksakademie as well as at Le Fresnoy in 2004. His works have been regularly shown in various museums and institutions, such as Tate Modern, London; the Centre Pompidou, Paris; the Stedelijk Museum and the De Appel Art Centre, Amsterdam; Art in General, New York; the Ludwig Museum, Budapest; at the Biennials in São Paulo and Sydney; in the Miró Foundation, Barcelona; the MUDAM, Luxemburg; the CAC, Vilnius.
