César ORDÓÑEZ
セサル・オルドネス
César Ordóñez, photographer and video artist, was born in Barcelona. His work inquires into the relationship between humans beings and the spaces we inhabit. Exploring how our thoughts, feelings and attitudes influence our environment and the daily evolution of societies in which we live, and vice versa. Always with an intimate, sensual and often introspective look.
For over fifteen years he combined his professional activity as a fashion and advertising photographer with his artistic career growth. In that period, during eight years, he was part on the board of the Professional Photographers Association of Spain. From 2007 to the present, he develops his personal projects between Tokyo and Barcelona.
He has exhibited in Spain, Mexico, France, Russia, Japan, South Korea and China. His works are part of important art collections as: Auer Photo Foundation (Geneva, Switzerland), Fundació Fotocolectania (Barcelona, Spain) and Fundación Unicaja (Malaga, Spain). Recently, he has published his first photobook: Tokyo Blur.
