Juan Galán
I was born in Spain but for the last 14 years, I have been moving from one country to another for work in search of experiences.
I am interested in how life is composed of movement and change. Understanding societies through one’s identity as an individual and investigating and recording knowledge of the reality of one’s existence. Endlessly framing the everyday aspects while looking for a friction between the real document and my own vision, ultimately to highlight the individual human being as the creator of the meaning of his life. I graduated in Psychology and my work has been constantly influenced by it as well as philosophy, especially existentialism.
Based in Bari, currently working on long-term projects in Southern Italy and Greece.
