Andrés Caballero’s work explores the often unseen infrastructures of control that target dissent and marginalized populations. He centers migration in his practice as both consequence and testimony, shaped by histories of extraction, pillaging, and fractured homes.

Building on this approach, Caballero’s practice repurposes emerging technologies such as  LiDAR, virtual reality, and machine vision, as counter-methodologies for communal resistance. Through photography, video, installation, sound, and expanded media, he traces how life persists through fractured memory, yet remains constantly disrupted under the pretext of progress.

Caballero is the recipient of a Fulbright Scholarship, the Mellon Fronteridades Graduate Fellowship, the Marcia Grand Centennial Award, and the Tinker Field Research Grant. He is currently a third-year MFA candidate in Photography, Video & Imaging at the University of Arizona. His work has been exhibited in Mexico and the United States, including at the Tucson Museum of Art, the Nogales Art Museum, and the Museo Archivo de la Fotografía.
