Enrique Ramírez’s work blends videos, photography, soundtracks, installations, and poetic narratives. He enjoys working with stories within stories, fiction that straddles different countries and time periods, the mirages arising from the gap between dream and reality.

He often uses images and sound to develop intricate plots that strike a subtle balance between poetry and politics.His imaginary world of interwoven themes is anchored by one obsessively recurring element at the root of all his meditations: the sea as a place for memory in perpetual motion. He projects narratives in which Chile’s fate intersects with epic accounts of faraway travels, conquests, and shifting migration tides. His sea-inspired images tell a bewildering tale of a forever-elusive truth, as well as the undertow of history, always the same yet never identical.
