Sofía Ayarzagoitia was born in Monterrey, Mexico, 1987. With a photojournalism upbringing, her work has been featured on important contests and publications such as the XVII Centro de la Imagen Photography Biennial in Mexico City, Foam Talent 2016 in Amsterdam and PhotoIreland, she specialized in Author Photography at the Istituto Europeo di Design in Madrid.

Sofia is interested in photography that has a performative edge but derives from the documentary heritage. This performative edge is drawn from the empathic relationship that she shares with her subjects. Even if she never appears in the photographs, the work is always referring to her, not only through texts but also through this relationship. She is interested in the actions they do for her camera. A lot of her work revolves around intimacy and themes emerging from it, keeping the necessary link of art and life.
