Bio

Pedro Albertini Guerra is a Chilean artist (b. 1998, Santiago) based in Chicago. His work moves across photography, sculpture, and installation to consider how memory, disappearance, and transformation are carried by images, objects, and small gestures. Often working with movement, repetition, and fragile systems of attention, Albertini creates works that dwell on the threshold between presence and absence, stillness and performance, care and decay.

He is the founder of CEDE, an artist-run exhibition space in Santiago. Recent projects include Not a Big Fan (2025) and El horizonte de los pesimistas (2024). Albertini received an MFA in Photography from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2026.
