Lester Rodríguez

The work of Lester Rodríguez (Tegucigalpa, 1984) explores the relationships between geography and the symbolic constructions that derive from it. Using media such as installation, video, photography and sculpture, he brings together sets of significant and symbolic elements that account for complex phenomena such as migration and notions such as territory and borders. The analysis of global phenomena is combined with the documentation of situations characteristic of specific regions, so that the socio-political commentary can be read from both the global and local perspectives. He has participated in the IX Bienal de La Habana (2009), the IV, VI and VIII Bienal del Itsmo Centroamericano (2005, 2010 and 2012) and the X Bienal centroamericana (2016). His work is part of international art collections such as the Jorge M. Peréz and the World Bank collections. He lives and works in Bogotá.”
