Alfredo Srur (Buenos Aires, 1977) is a photographer, researcher, and essayist. His work explores the relationships between photography, territory, memory, and materiality, experimenting with different approaches to the production and construction of photographic images. He began his career in film and developed his practice within the context of photojournalism and the last generation of analog photography. Since then, he has produced long-term photographic essays and projects that bring together photography, writing, and archives.
His work has been published and exhibited throughout Latin America, the United States, and Europe, and is held in national and international public and private collections. He has received numerous grants and awards in recognition of his artistic work.
In 2013, he founded the Fundación CIFHA (Centro de Investigación Fotográfico Histórico Argentino), an institution he directs that preserves and studies Argentina’s photographic heritage, managing more than 300 archives and collections dating from the 19th to the 21st centuries. Under his leadership, CIFHA has received support and recognition from institutions including UNESCO, the British Library, and UCLA, among others.
His current practice connects photographic creation with heritage research and extends into audiovisual production, exploring photography as a contemporary language, a document, and an object of study, and film as another form of research and storytelling.
