Cristóbal Cerda-Troncoso
Cell biologist – Photographer
I am a cell biologist, formed in Chile. I am based in Belgium. Here I am doing my postdoctorate at KU Leuven. I like understanding how the cells organize their trafficking system to communicate something to other cells. The lab work inspired me to discover new processes, imagine how the cells work, and translate them into graphic schemes.
In parallel to my scientific and academic life, I practice photography. Almost all my photographs are analog, and some are digital. I started taking online courses on analog photography and attending in-person fine art print workshops at the Leuven Photography Club. My photography shows how I see the world and the details that we pass in ordinary things.
