José Castrellón works with photography, video, found material and language, moving between the conceptual and documentary realms. Through research, he takes history as a point of departure to inquire into and express anthropological and sociological concerns. He identifies with cultural changes and the impact they have on different places, the cultural modification of people and society, as well as the physical transformation of landscapes, brought about by commercialism, colonialism, geopolitical conflict, and interventions. Castrellón practice is concerned with diffusion, hybridization, and exposure to different cultural forms and their imposition, appropriation, or cannibalism, which emerge on the faces of people or the nature of spaces.
