Mauricio Sáenz (b. 1977, Matamoros, Mexico) is a visual artist with a practice spanning installation, sculpture, and video. His work explores the limits of impossibility as an active drive for transformation represented through notions as isolation, confinement, uncertainty and historical memory. He received a master’s degree from the Polytechnic University of Valencia in Spain and has displayed his work at the Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil and Foto Museo Cuatro Caminos in Mexico City, Galerie Art Virus in Frankfurt, and Jonathan Ferrara Gallery in New Orleans, as well as in video art festivals such as Proyector and MADATAC in Spain, Traverse and Instants Vidéo in France, and FIVA in Argentina, among others.
