Catalina De la Cruz is a Chilean visual artist with a Master’s degree in Visual Arts from the University of Chile. She explores the technical aspects of photography, focusing on nineteenth-century chemical and analogue processes. An innovator in the format of the photochemical book and large-scale videography, she addresses themes of territory and intervention. Her work emphasises immersion through scale and narrative. She has exhibited in Chile and abroad, including in the United States, Spain, Peru, Mexico, and Brazil, with works held in international collections such as the New York Public Library and the Getty Foundation. For the past 18 years, she has directed Taller Fotoquímico in Santiago de Chile, teaching nineteenth-century photochemical processes with contemporary applications. In 2016, she launched the Taller de Libro Fotoquímico project, combining traditional techniques with modern editorial formats.
