Adam Wiseman

Born in Mexico City, Adam Wiseman is a graduate of New York University and the International Centre of Photography. His career has been marked by his relationship to photojournalism. His subjects are clearly interposed with an understanding of image as something between document and intersubjectivity. Wiseman is Head of Photography and Senior Lecturer at the University of East London. He divides his time between Mexico City and London as both a lecturer and lens-based artist.

“Interested in cultural processes that include the geographical movement of people, the architectural displacements from one imaginary space to another and the memories-urban collectivities in the process of re-adaptation, the work of Adam Wiseman has established itself as a point of reference to be considered as a transformative part of the photography currently being produced in Mexico. Between still photography and moving image, portrait and landscape, video and installation, Wiseman has developed different work methodologies to explore contemporary socio-cultural themes.” — Ivan Ruiz, Director of the Institute of Visual Arts UNAM
