Julio Galeote (Madrid, 1977) works with photography, installation and audiovisual media to explore themes such as the creation of realities through photographic documentation and the construction of sculptural simulacra to transform them into ambiguous images that create imaginary spaces.

His work has also been presented at international art fairs such as ARCO, MadridPhoto, SWAB, London Art Fair and festivals such as PhotoEspaña, Encontros da imagen (Portugal), Fotofestiwal (Poland), and the Korean International Photofestival. Residencies he has completed include fellowships at the Spanish Academy in Rome, Art Center South Florida in Miami and La Filature, Mulhouse in France.
