About

Andrea Aguirre is a Mexican American artist who spent her childhood in Geneva, Switzerland. She attended the Corcoran School of Fine Arts, later receiving a Bachelors degree of Photojournalism and Art History from The George Washington University. She is currently based in Geneva Switzerland but is available world wide.

Although being trained as a photojournalist, Andrea prefers to not be defined by one genre of Photography. She considers her work to be ephemeral both in style and in technique despite her primary medium being film. Her work mainly focuses on the complexity of identity, both personal, and collective.

Andrea has spent years using her role as photographer to analyze the complex dichotomy between internal and external identity. She has identified an intimacy of the internal self, and explores how that informs our negotiations with the external world. Accepting her bias as inherent in image making, she is incredibly subject focused simply using her agency to photograph. Andreas core objective is to capture the complexity of the human identity.

Andrea has a vast history working in the arts. Not only has she worked in museums, galleries, and professional studios, but her work has been exhibited and sold at auction, most recently at the transformer gallery in Washington D.C.

Together Alone, her most comprehensive project spanning a period of three years, was exhibited in the Corcoran Gallery’s senior thesis exhibition “NEXT.”
