Career
Luis Albornoz
Based in the Atacama Desert, I develop a practice that brings together illusionism, stage creation, perception, narrative and territory. I create works, festivals, interventions and cultural processes that connect art, place and social innovation. I explore wonder as an artistic experience, a form of knowledge and a tool for transformation, and understand decentralisation as a concrete practice for cultural development. I am interested in fragility, time and human experience as spaces of encounter between people and communities.
Illusionist, stage creator and cultural manager. Atacama, Chile.
