About Me
Federico "Monty" Kaplan (1986) is a photographer from Argentina, whose interest in photography is as a tool of inspection.
He examines and puts to question the perception we have of reality. Exploring intersubjective spaces, that are shaped from the relationship between our subjective experiences and the objective nature of things. Searching there for what is invisible to the eye, and exists only as presentiment.
His background in filmmaking allows him to create unorthodox narratives filled with atmosphere that blur the line between fiction and documentary.
Monty has exhibited work across the globe in USA, London, Germany and Argentina.
His project “The Measure” was selected to be part of the FOLIO masterclass with PHMuseum and Witty Books.
His work has appeared on numerous publications, including It’s Nice That, PH Room and i-D among others.
