ATLAS Curator
Martín Bollati
Buenos Aires, 1986. Visual artist, publisher, and educator. Founder and director of SED Editorial and ATLAS. He coordinates the workshops “Gesto editorial” and “Jugar contra la máquina.” His work explores the relationship between photography and fiction, with a specific focus on the discursive possibilities that exist on the margins of the photographic apparatus and its structure. He has published the following books: A Kind of Loop by Riot Books; La forma bruta by the University of Cádiz; Vacant Dream State by 280a; Para describir una flor by Raya Editorial; Ruinas sin título, Aguas vivas, Texto Nazi, and Hermes/Unesco by SED Editorial. He has held solo exhibitions at the 3rd Beijing Photography Biennial in China; the Kirchner Cultural Center in Buenos Aires, Argentina; Galería Cero in Madrid, Spain; and Galería Hydra in Mexico City, among others. In 2014, he was awarded the 11th Roberto Villagraz Scholarship to pursue his master’s degree in conceptual photography at EFTI. In 2017, his work as an editor was honored with the Best Latin American Photobook Award at the Latin American Photography Colloquiums in Mexico, and in 2018, together with the 280a collective, he won the Art Trail Tesla Award at the Unseen Festival in Amsterdam. That same year, he was featured in the “Ones to Watch” issue of the British Journal of Photography.
