Author Biography

Ana Maria Guerra, Universidad de Girona

PhD candidate at the University of Girona and visual artist. My research and my artistic practice focus on the evolution of photography; of materiality from silver gelatin to the virtuality of computer-generated images. My work is a critique of the impact that technological progress has on other species and on the environment. My academic training has been at the University of the Arts in London, where I completed a master's degree in photography in 2016. My work has been exhibited in England, China and the United States; and has been published in media specialized in new trends in contemporary art.
