Andrea Alkalay is a visual artist currently based in Argentina with a degree in Industrial Design (University of Buenos Aires ). Was trained in art-photography attending workshops and residency programs, experimenting with alternative techniques and creative processes.
Her skills in design and artistic practices are interconnected. She uses materials as tools to underline ideas. Form, function, and language are important considerations in her work. She thinks through the image, looking for the poetic and political potential that arises from the observation, exploring photography’s ability to manipulate perceptions of reality. She is interested in the discrepancy between what we see and what we know, where these qualities contradict each other and coexist simultaneously. Her work expands the limits of photography towards other disciplines such as collage, embroidery, and painting to imprint a multiplicity of visions.
During 2023, she participated in group exhibitions in Argentina, including “Puzzles” (Bienal Sur, Muntref), “Brief History of Eternity" (an installation at the Recoleta Cultural Center), "Cities, Dream, and Dystopia" (CCK Cultural Center), "Unveiled Landscapes" at OdA Gallery, at Haute Photographie in Amsterdam, and at Kranj Festival in Slovenia.
She was selected to the Intermix program for Visual artists and fashion designers in Riyadh, with an open studio in 2024.
In 2022, Alkalay participated in the Al Balad Art Residency, by the Ministry of Culture of Saudi Arabia and received The Kingdom Photography Grant. Additionally, she exhibited with Amalgama Art in London and Bogota, as part of the art residency edition.
She won the Latin American Professional Award (1st place 2021) from the World Photography Organisation. Also a finalist at the Head On Photo Festival (Sydney) and DongGang Museum of Photography outdoor exhibition (Korea).
In 2018, her "Urban Territories" portfolio won 1st place at Light Festival Argentina, leading to a solo exhibition at the Fine Arts Museum Franklin Rawson, and in Chile, Mexico, and the 8th Photography Biennale Tucumán.
International publications: Fresh Eyes 2023, Aesthetica Magazine, Lenscratch, Artdoc, ArtFluent, Float, Click Magazine, PHMuseum, Coleccionismo Contemporáneo, and more. Her authorial photobook "Uncertain Nature" was launched in 2016.
Represented in Argentina by OdA Arte Gallery and Hafez Gallery in Saudi Arabia.
