Gian Cruz, born in Manila, the Philippines, is an emerging artist whose artistic practice is heavily rooted in photography and integrates his institutional work and background in art theory and criticism. Cruz’s work is central to the volatility of the image in contemporary culture and the multiple discourses that come along with it. He often extends his photographic work toward a more complex, multidisciplinary orientation integrating performance, translation, history, literature, ecology, cinema, HIV/AIDS activism, and several other fields and contexts that engage with his current preoccupations as an artist.
