Biography
Born in Mexico City, 1981. Lives and works in Mexico City
Despite not being a photographer, Iñaki Bonillas has been establishing a relationship with photography in his work since the late nineties. With a regard for the aesthetics and the conceptual practices of the sixties and seventies, the artist has been gradually isolating the constituent elements of photography and connecting them with other procedures. Trained in the subtleties of image processing while he worked as the assistant in a photographer’s studio, Bonillas saw his practice transformed by the inheritance of his grandfather’s photo archive. The J. R. Plaza Archive became the matrix of more than twenty works the artist produced between the years 2003 and 2016. But Bonilla’s work expands beyond this archive. Over the years he has suceeded in creating a very solid body of work that addresses the cultural history of photography to highlight the medium’s structural behavior and its relationship to the creation of identity.
