About

Her studies in art history enable her to manipulate these codes with awareness, uncovering the ideological processes that underlie representation through co-creation with the people she photographs. Her images create a singular tension, blending raw beauty and profound eroticism. Bodies and nature merge, projecting moral vulnerability and the fragility of human destiny in the face of its environment.

Biswell's transnational trajectory—born to Colombian parents who fled political violence and settled in Paris—resonates through her work's layered temporalities and shifting geographies. Navigating between Western visual regimes and Global South ontologies, she constructs a language that resists binary frameworks, instead embracing the resources of the in-between. Her oeuvre amplifies narratives that are often sidelined or rendered invisible, dismantling the hierarchical frameworks of the photographic medium. Exploring vulnerability, femininity, and morality, she articulates a poetics of resistance—asserting the image as a space of agency, memory, and transformation.

For the past ten years, Biswell has been developing co-creative work with artist María Amilbia Siagama Siagama and the Embera Chamí community, exploring representations of the body. In Eden Hours, a performance at the La Louisiane hotel, she establishes a play of alter egos with artist AICANON, questioning domination and identification within the photographic encounter.

Her residencies in China and French Guiana have enriched her exploration of the body as an interface for dialogue between different cultural paradigms. Her work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in Medellín, the Düsseldorf Image Biennial, the Rencontres d'Arles, the A4 Museum in Chengdu, and Espacio 21 in Miami. Her works are held in major institutional collections, including the Musée du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac (France), the Museo del Banco de la República (Colombia), and the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM).

Born in 1983, she currently lives and works between Paris and Bogota.
