BIOGRAPHY
BIO
B. 1986, Red Bank, NJ
Andrew Soria is an artist and photographer whose practice explores the relationship between cities, memory, and change.
Working from his own photographic archive, Soria reconstructs urban environments from hundreds of images, combining architecture, signage, infrastructure, commercial imagery, cultural markers, and overlooked details into densely layered compositions.
The resulting works exist between documentation and imagination, shaped by experience, memory, and the details that define a place.
His long-term project, Welcome to the Neighborhood, explores individual neighborhoods and the ways their visual character shifts through redevelopment, cultural change, and time. Other bodies of work examine nostalgia, cultural identity, class, displacement, and the contradictions of contemporary urban life.
Soria’s work has been exhibited in Miami, Los Angeles, New York, Seoul, and internationally, and has appeared in publications including Juxtapoz, Hi-Fructose, and Assouline.
01 — Observe
I explore neighborhoods on foot, photographing architecture, iconic signage, infrastructure, cultural markers, and overlooked details.
02 — Collect
Hundreds of my photographs are collaged into a single imagined landscape that reflects both the physical city and the way it is remembered.
03 — Preserve
The final artwork becomes a visual archive that exists somewhere between documentary photography and constructed memory.
MEDIUM
Photography, digital collage, & photographic reconstruction.
Each work begins with original photographs made in the environment being depicted. These images are digitally assembled into large-scale compositions that combine documentary observation with subjective reconstruction.
