Nicolás Dojman

Nicolás Dojman (born August 19, 1980 in Buenos Aires, Argentina) is an Argentine photographer, visual artist and filmmaker.

Style and career

Initially educated as a film theoretician and critic, Nicolas Dojman studied Photography at the École Supérieure des Arts Visuels de La Cambre, in Brussels, and Arts at the prestigious University of Buenos Aires.

Through the years, Dojman has been developing what might be called as "archaeological photography", working primarily with art appropriation, and the resignification of other artists' work, found footage and discarded photographic material, approaching himself to the neo-conceptual movement and the work of photographers like Elger Esser or Sherrie Levine. His acclaimed exhibition, Odds and Ends (Buenos Aires, 2007) can be included into this line of work, so as other of his unexhibited works along the same line.

Work

Reluctant to openly exhibit both his filming, photographic and poetic material, as well as to give interviews, Dojman's artistic work has not yet reached the notoriety it would deserve, taking into consideration its originality. Besides his work as a photographer, both his activity as a specialist and divulgator of conceptual cinema in Argentina and his overshadowed poetry production might be worth to mention. In the last years, Nicolás Dojman has been collaborating with several blogs on poetry, literature and film criticism, as well as with periodical publications on the same subjects.

He currently lives and works in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
