Adam Wiseman Photography
Born in Mexico City in 1970. I have a BA from New York University in Ethnographic Film (1992) and completed the Documentary Program at the International Center of Photography in NY (1996).
My work seeks to review orthodoxy within the traditional documentary process by addressing the role of objectivity in an intrinsically subjective medium. In recent work; Moving Portraits (2013), Moving Stills (2015), Tlatelolco Disproved (2014) and Arquitectura libre (2020) process becomes an important part of the completed piece.
