Selfportrait
Facundo Brown
I was born in Mendoza, Argentina in 1973. I studied architecture at Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo, Universidad de Mendoza.
From 1997 to 2000 I worked for UNO newspaper directing weekly features on design and architecture. In addition, I have been a photography columnist for Los Andes newspaper and a regular contributor of articles and images to Primera Fila and Planeta Urbano magazines. For the last four years I have lived in California where I practice photography and design.
Artists such as Krzysztof Kieslowski, Werner Herzog, Alexander Sokurov and Abbas Kiarostami with his philosophy of "open incompleteness" have been a powerful source of inspiration. Other revered figures are Georges Rousse, Masao Yamamoto, Guillermo Kuitca and, of course, Walker Evans.
