Arguiñe Escandón & Yann Gross are a Spanish and Swiss duo.
Arguiñe Escandón’s works have mostly been linked to psychology. She tackles themes related to the human being and his relationship with personal and social environments. In her last projects she focused on process of vital re-adaptation, change and transformation.
Yann Gross was born 1981 in Vevey, Switzerland. He holds a Bachelor in Visual Communication (2005) and a Master in Photography (2007) from École cantonale d’art de Lausanne (ECAL). The emerging photographer and video artist lives and works alternately in Switzerland and the Amazon rainforest. He questions how communities shape their identities, yield to escapism, and model their environments. Traveling extensively in East Africa and South America, Gross takes the time to immerse himself in local communities. His photography is there to critique representations of alleged original cultures and communities while reflecting on his pernicious position as a modern Western explorer.
