About

I am an art and photography historian and curator focusing on Latin America, Europe, and Anglo-America. In my research, I am interested in how photography is conceived and used in different parts of the world, taking into account issues of coloniality and queer theory. In my curatorial projects, I work with both historic archives and living artists, seeking to engage in discussions of what art and photography can be in and outside the European canon.

Currently, I’m Assistant Curator in the Department of Photographs at the Musée national d’art moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou. Previously, I was a curatorial fellow of the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach-Foundation and worked at Museum Folkwang, Essen, Fotomuseum, Winterthur, and Stadtmuseum, Munich. In addition, I did internships at MoMA, New York, ZKM, Karlsruhe, the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, and AXA ART, Zurich. I hold a B.A. from Katholische Universität Eichstätt-Ingolstadt and a M.Sc. from the University of Edinburgh. In 2021, I finished my PhD on Chilean photo-historiography at Folkwang Universität der Künste in Essen.
