A new generation of young photographers is blurring the line between photography and fine art, thereby renegotiating the boundaries between photography, installation and sculpture. A couple of weeks ago we showed you Dutch photographer Lonneke van der Palen<\/a>\u2019s highly constructed images in a fine art context. Now, Sleek speaks with Spanish photographer Julio Galeote<\/a> about his entry at the 2014 \u201cFresh Faced + Wild Eyed\u201d exhibition at The Photographers Gallery<\/a>, and how a background in engineering shaped his present practice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How did you first get involved with photos and photography?<\/b><\/p>\n

There have always been cameras in my house. My father is really passionate about photography so I had been familiar with cameras and photography from when I was a child. After that, I studied photography while also studying engineering. And after that, I decided to do M.A. in Photography.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You graduated from the RCA for the Master\u2019s program last year.\u00a0 Do you think that attending a school of such high calibre influenced your work and practice?<\/b><\/p>\n

I think that RCA gives you the structure to produce work, but doing an M.A. at a prestigious school does not make your work better, of course. My work has changed in a few ways under those two years at the Royal College of the Arts. I think that right now it is less strict\u2014I feel like I work more freely in the studio.<\/p>\n

You were selected to be a part of this years \u201cFresh Faced + Wild Eyed\u201d 2014 exhibition at The Photographers Gallery, how did that come about?<\/b><\/p>\n

I thought it was a good opportunity to show my work, so I applied. It\u00a0 has a very interesting mentoring program where six people related to the art scene\u2014directors, editors, other artists\u2014select six artists from the exhibition, then working together over the course of a year. I was lucky to be one of the chosen artists and I am looking forward to working with my mentor in this time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Who is your mentor?<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s Sheyi Bankale, the curator and editor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s talk more about your work. In the current issue of Sleek, we show works from the series, \u201cExcess\u201d. Can you tell me about that project: how it started; what it\u2019s about,<\/b><\/p>\n

In order to understand all the projects I make, I think it\u2019s also good to know what kind of work I am making now, and what other series surround it. My art practice combines the idea of installation and representation through constructions usually made in studio, and then photographed and documented.<\/p>\n

I photograph the fictional world around me through the construction of sets that relate to the fragility of all the systems that we set up.\u00a0 With the \u201cExcess\u201d\u00a0 body of work, I use discarded elements collected from commercial events. For me, I am always interested in the dismissed\u2014in the no longer needed objects<\/p>\n

What does it mean to be documented? I use that part of the old photography, of old character, of documentation that the medium of photography has itself. It is also\u00a0 related to the way that I make, or I construct, sceneries in the studio. It\u2019s related with some kind of architectural or engineering background.<\/p>\n

What do you do with the objects once you\u2019ve found them and then photographed them and then built this installation\u2014do you them throw them away after?<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a bit strange but I have some kind of relation with them, and once I make a picture with them, I just cannot throw them away. Now I have a really serious problem with space!<\/p>\n
