Esperanza Grez (1992) Chilean visual artist and researcher. She has a degree in art from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and a master's degree in Art and Design Research from EINA. She works mainly in photography, printmaking and sculpture.

Her research focuses on the observation of buildings under construction, the main motive is to reflect on the relationship between human beings and architecture understood as a body in constant formation. She makes an analogy between the structures of the human body and architectural structures with the intention of looking for meeting points between organic and industrial logics that apparently seem to have completely different behaviors.

She investigates the hidden structures of buildings, their internal apparatus in order to understand how they are built, since it is considered that they influence both the configuration of the environment and the ability to project futures. Although structures tend to be associated with fixed elements, the artist observes their changing behaviour, the city is seen as a living body in constant transformation.

She uses a cartographic methodology that consists of walking through the city collecting images and objects of the urban environment, thus tracing links between concepts, images, sounds and movements. His artistic practice seeks the encounter between praxis and theory where the materiality, understood as a sensitive and conceptual element, has the potential to show the interaction between subjects and objects, allowing to rethink and reticulate the link between the human being and the urban environment.
