verónica losantos
Mostly based on her personal experiences, Verónica Losantos focuses her work on the mechanisms of past processing and memory, and about the relationship between photographic and psychological processes. In addition to the merging of documentary and conceptual photography, the diverse and experimental use of photographic material is also important to her. As a result, various visual styles and technical elements are often combined in the presentation of her subjects.
Her work has been exhibited internationally and she has received several awards as the Talents 36 by C/O Berlin; the Young Art Prize La Rioja 2020, the Kunstpreis Fotografie Berlin Brandenburg Lotto 2016 and the Foro PHOTOESPAÑA - Comunidad de Madrid "Hacer” to name a few. She has been also finalist of the Kassel Photobook Dummy Award and the European Photography Award among others. In early 2020 shefinished a Masters Degree in Photography & Design at the FH Bielefeld and is now living and working in Berlin.
