Artist Statement
Marco Guerra, Chilean born and New York based, is a photographer and visual artist whose practice resists photography’s tendency toward stasis. As Susan Sontag once wrote, the photograph risks becoming a frozen emblem of death; Guerra’s work pushes against this, creating images that reverberate, shimmer, and remain alive in time.
Across projects in Morocco, New York, and beyond, Guerra collapses the instant into duration. In Volumes and Lines, irrigation pools become elemental mirrors of water’s equilibrium — meditations on survival, flow, and thought, exhibited internationally and at COP22. In Synesthesia, photography is treated as vibration, echoing sound and color to activate the viewer’s senses beyond vision. Other series, from Dates, Forms and Umm Kulthum to Tangiers, layer intimacy, urban ritual, and cultural memory into composites that resist exoticism and sentimentality.
Recurring subjects the female form, the sea, time, and the museum, serve less as symbols than as archetypes through which Guerra interrogates perception itself. His practice, drawing on Cubism, Sufism, and Zen, dissolves singular perspective into multiplicity, inviting viewers to inhabit images as resonant fields rather than static documents.
While his work spans photography, sound, and installation, its core remains constant: a pursuit of resonance over record, presence over permanence. Guerra’s images ask us not simply to look, but to feel, to enter into the vibration where vision, memory, and sensation converge.
