• He was born in Santiago de Chile in May, 22nd, 1982. It was during his studies of Design where he started to work with photography, first as a tool, then as a means of expression. He eventually studies Photography at the University of Arts and Social Science (ARCIS).

  "Kurt Petautschinig's photography refers to experiences and transformations of man within the contemporary society; waste, landscape changings, memory and human flows. He combines those different situations with the journeys and the photographic strain. He shows series of images that stand for the possibility of treating subjects in the abscence of the characters, or maybe, in a more rethorical way. He uses the synecdoche as a deconstructive tool of that decisive moment, guiding the immediacy and classical photographic skill into a reflexive moment." Nathalie Goffard
