Cristobal Catalan
Profile/CV
Cristobal is a commended visual artist and researcher interested in exploring social, material and national boundaries. His works generally deal with the meta-reflexive interplay between technology, embodiment and spectatorship as well as the effects of ‘deterritorialization’ on image based media. A film and media lecturer in London, Cristobal has participated on international conference panels and has also published research on the effects of media globalisation on minority communities. Thematically,his work engages issues of representation and voyeurism; exploring how we watch and are watched in an age of increasing mobile spectatorship. Cristobal's current work is concerned with issues such as consumerism, diversity and discrimination.
