Claudio Mansour (Mexico City, 1996) is a photographer and multidisciplinary artist. He studied Industrial Design at Universidad Iberoamericana, a training that allowed him to explore the material and aesthetic possibilities of objects before expanding his practice into photography. He has participated in seminars at the Universität der Künste (Berlin) and the Institute of Postnatural Studies (Madrid). Living in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro enriched his vision, particularly his engagement with everyday life and political realities. He also directs the Acevedo Mansour Collection, an archive of historical photography that intersects with and informs some of his projects.
His practice is defined by a constant exploration of the possibilities of photography, approaching it both as a medium of communication and as a space for thought. His work unfolds along two main lines: documentary photography and the reinterpretation of the archive. Through the image, he reflects on contemporary concepts that shape his work, such as liminal architectures, capitalist realism, and post-nature, while exploring the everyday, the intimate, the political, and the abstract—always in search of tensions and contradictions.
His work takes shape as a testimony to what is fragile and urgent, personal and collective, with the conviction that photography can be both an intimate archive and a critical device.
