Juan Echeverri (born November the 22nd of 1978 in Bogotá, Colombia) is a Colombian artist known for his work focused on self-portraits and the reflection on self-image and stereotypes.[1][2][3].
Life and career
Echeverri studied Visual Arts in the Universidad Javeriana, were he graduated in 2002. Around 1995, he sporadically started taking 4x5 cm pictures for his personal diaries and, once this became a daily habit, the compendium of the pictures became a long-term project titled Miss Fotojapón [4]. In 2003, Miss Fotojapón earned Echeverri a solo show in the Bogotá Museum of Modern Art[5][6].In 2010, a fraction of this piece was acquired by the Museum of the Bank of the Republic, the leading institution in contemporary art of the country, for its permanent exhibition Ires y venires[7][8]. In 2022, Miss Fotojapón had more than 8000 pictures, and had been exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery of London as part of the "From Selfie to Self-Expression" exhibition of 2017 [9][10][11], and included in the books "500 Self-Portraits" (2018) [12][13] and "Younger than Jesus Directory" (2009), both published by Phaidon Press [14].
Parallel to Miss Fotojapón, Echeverri has created some short series that, according to some critics, deal with the construction of the persona and the stereotype-based perception of the "other" [15][16]. Some of these series, like Fantasía de Macho maduro (2001), merengue glacé (2007), SUPERSONAS (2011), futuroSEXtraños (2016) y MUERTOS VIVIENTES (2019), have been displayed in venues as Bogotá's Colombian National Museum [17][18], Ireland's Biennial of Contemporary Art of 2018 [19], and the Rescontres de la Photographie of Arles of 2017 [20][21].
