Born in 1982 in Mexico. Lives and works in Brussels. Once he obtained his Bachelor’s degree in journalism at the Anahuac University of Mexico, Ilan Weiss moved to Brussels in 2006, where he started his career as a photographer.
Ilan is particularly concerned about the way mass media uses images to manipulate our perception of reality. As a reaction, Ilan’s work exploits the deceptive character of the photographic image in order to reveal a deeper truth. Ilan Weiss has exhibited in Brussels (“Inland” at the Centre pour la photographie contemporaine –Espace Contretype – in 2013) and in France (“Chimères” Festival de Arles – voice off, 2014).
