Mds magazine #49

Seigar is a passionate travel, street, social documentary, and conceptual
photographer based in Tenerife. He feels obsessed with the pop culture which
shows in his series. He is a fetishist for reflections, saturated colors, curious
finds, and religious icons. He also flirts with journalism and video. His main inspiration
is traveling. His aim as an artist is to tell tales with his camera, creating
a continuous storyline from his trips. His most ambitious projects so far are his
Plastic People, a study on anthropology and sociology that focuses on the humanization
of the mannequins he finds in the shop windows all over the world,
and his Tales of a City, an ongoing urban photo-narrative project taken in London.
He is a philologist and also works as a secondary school teacher. He is a
self-taught visual artist, though he has done a two years course in advanced
photography and one in cinema and television. He has participated in several
exhibitions and his works have been featured in many publications. He has collaborated
with different media such as VICE and WAG1. He writes for Dodho
and The Cultural about photography and pop culture, and for Memoir Mixtapes
about music. Lately, he has experimented with video forms. His last interest is
documenting identity. Recently, he received the Rafael Ramos García International
Photography Award.
