Info – Ricard Estay

Ricard Estay b.1985 is a photographer, artist and writer who grew up in Fittja, Stockholm (Sweden), with roots from Chile. He is using visual storytelling and poetry to create complex portraits of both physical and mental places. He has previously released five publications and works in the borderland between literature, poetry, photography, film and art. He often moves between fiction, memories and depictions of segregated cities and political wastelands.

In addition to his own practice, he has been freelancing since 2008 in various media rolls. Since 2015 he has been working for the Public Art Agency Sweden as a photographer and filmmaker, documenting contemporary public art by Swedish and international artists.
