Andy Maticorena Kajie is a photo-based interdisciplinary artist who holds a BFA in Photography & Video from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. His work primarily focuses on the ephemeral relationship between photographic imagery, time, memory, and psychological disorders. Kajie's photographs serve as inconsistent representations of reality, akin to the nature of memory itself. A significant aspect of his current work involves hanging, disintegrating photo-sculptures and time-based installations that challenge traditional perceptions of photographic art. By creating kinetic objects that change with viewing, he explores how memory functions from a psychological perspective, utilizing mundane objects as vessels of recollection. His exploration extends into areas of mental health disorders and photographic theory, showcasing his art in solo exhibitions in New York City and New Jersey, including notable selections such as the School of Visual Arts BFA Photography and Video department Mentors 2023 exhibition and L.A. Photo Curator’s Top 40 Images 2021.
