Santiago Caicedo (1976) is a Colombian artist and filmmaker. His work, difficult to label, revolves around motion graphics, animation, stereoscopy, video art, and film. His short films have participated in numerous festivals around the world, including Annecy, Clermont-Ferrand, and SIGGRAPH, and have received many international awards. Caicedo’s work enhances graphics and fantasy in a unique style where he vanishes all references to common times or places and takes us away on trips to strange worlds.
