Remy Ugarte Vallejos (1993, Fribourg) is based in Geneva.
The artistic work of Remy Ugarte Vallejos evolves around a multidisciplinary practice, consisting mainly of moving image and installation focusing on the hybrid nature of the image, capture technologies and the urban context. Through a creative process that combines performative exploration and artistic research, he questions the complexity of the image and its relationship to the body. His artistic experimentation is inspired by the structures of urban life, cyberculture, mythologies and the excesses of consumer society. In his video works, he seeks in particular to explore the intersections between urban traditions and the technologies of modern life, repeatedly evoking the question of the human condition as well as social and power relations within the different urban communities.
Remy Ugarte Vallejos joined the artist-run offspace WallStreet in Fribourg in 2021.
