BIO-FILMOGRAPHY

JOEL JIMENEZ

(b. 1993, Costa Rica) is an artist and filmmaker based in Madrid, Spain. His interdisciplinary practice combines photography, film and installation, integrating historical research and environmental psychology to explore the complex dynamics between humans and their surroundings.
