Salamanca, Spain, 1967. Lives and works in Spain.
Since Félix Curto established in Mexico in 1997, the idea of traveling as an experience and as the construction of memory became part of his work. Curto revitalizes the poetic and nostalgic aspects of the recent past by/while using photography and objects he founds and collects. His work revolves around the idea of geographical and physical, as well as interior and imagined, traveling; therefore: motels, old cars, highways, and landscapes have become recurrent topics in his photographs.
The elements he uses make evident the several techniques were Curtos imaginary hangs: medium and large pictures, digital prints, duratrans and neon. His photography’s conform fragmented experiences with a strong influence from road movies. Commonly in his art shows he includes fragments of his travels: billboards, records, signs, or boxes that are controlled and re-elaborated as a part of the authors personal vocabulary. At the same time he uses objects he founds or buys at a fair price and writes on them.
