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 modernity.

Andrés Caballero graduated from the Universidad Iberoamericana with a BA in Communication. He received a Fulbright Scholarship to pursue a graduate degree in the United States, where he is currently a third-year MFA candidate in Photography, Video & Imaging at the University of Arizona.  He has been awarded the Mellon Fronteridades Graduate Fellowship, the Grand Marcia Centennial Award, the Tinker Field Research Grant, among others.

His work has been exhibited in both Mexico and the United States, including at the Tucson Museum of Art, Nogales Art Museum, and Museo Archivo de la Fotografía.
