Back

Jonathan Castro Alejos (Lima, PE) is a graphic designer and multidisciplinary artist based in Amsterdam who works with sound, video, installation, and performance. His explorative practice oscillates between the real and the fictitious, assembling and reassembling collected raw materials embedded with different qualities and identities to reconstruct them into surfaces, objects, visual languages, and soundscapes.
