Joaquin Segura
Joaquin Segura’s artistic practice is centered on meditations on the phenomenology of history, power, and truth, engaging with notions such as sociopolitical microclimates, asymmetrical narratives, and ideology. His recent works address the ontological meaning of political extremism, language, and radical thought, with a special emphasis on its materialities. Active since the early 2000s, Segura is widely recognized as one of the leading Mexican artists of his generation.
