PEDRO WAINER

PHOTOGRAPHER IN RESIDENCE, SEPTEMBER 2026

Pedro Wainer was born in Mexico City to Argentine parents and grew up in Buenos Aires, where he studied filmmaking and photography. He received the following scholarships: City Arts Corps Grant, The New York Foundation for the Arts, Creative Capital, Taller Profesional para Artistas, Film Laboratory of Universidad Torcuato Di Tella. Recent artist residencies include: Penumbra Foundation, International Artist Residency (2019), Arts Letters and Numbers (2017) and La Ira de Dios #6 (Argentina, 2016). His work spans experimental analog photography, sculpture, and large-scale installation, with a focus on the material and mechanical conditions of image-making.

Through research and hands-on transformation, Pedro repurposes analog cameras and cinema machines into new devices, kinetic sculptures, and interactive installations. This process-driven practice emphasizes materiality and movement, exploring how image-making technologies shape perception and spatial experience. His work has been exhibited at The Slip Gallery, Revolver Gallery, The Clemente Soto Velez Cultural & Educational Center, The Loisaida Center, Museo de Artes Plásticas Eduardo Sívori, Little Berlin Gallery, MAR Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (Argentina), Shirley Fiterman Art Center BMCC-CUNY, Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires (Argentina), Centro Cultural de España en Buenos Aires (Argentina), among others.
