Agustin Muzío
Born in
Pergamino (Buenos Aires) Argentina in 1977, the son of a farming
family living in the humid pampas, Agustin came to Ibiza in June
2010 after traveling, living and working for three years in
different parts of Europe, connecting first hand with the native
cultures of his ancestors.
In his formative years in Buenos Aires, he studied sociology for
over 4 years, and in 2006 he graduated as a professional
photographer. |
He was interested
primarily in journalistic documentary photography, generating
reports that show the distressing reality of ordinary people in
their country of origin. At this stage and due to his training,
Agustín became interested in the issues that cross over from the
western culture in the late capitalist phase. He began
approaching groups promoting humanitarian causes and
environmental awareness, as a way of responding to the
structural crisis that manifests in the capitalist-consumerist
model, with its wasteful use of non-renewable energy resources
and its production of pollutants.
In Ibiza, Agustin has a close relation with the model ecological
center "Casita Verde", and actively participates in the
dissemination of new strategies for improving local community
practices. With the aim of helping to form a transitional
movement which will truly exceed the shortcomings of the present
culture and its exhausted way of life, he believes that we need
to change the current model, based on the generation of constant
imbalance with the environment and with other types of cultures,
especially with respect to the confrontation between ourselves. |
