Christopher Cristóbal Newberry Retana

He has an obsessive interest in disentangling truth from "alternative truth" in the ‘post-truth’world.

Christopher Cristóbal was born in Mexico City on 15.11.51 – a palindrome.

He travelled to Europe on a one-way air ticket, hitchhiking for several months and winding up in London

He has directed documentaries and educational television programmes and worked as a professional photographer. He is author of two books on architecture and sociall history: "Look Up! Winchester" and "Look Up! Salisbury".

He has come to regard himself as an image creator, using the camera to record reality and transforming it into Platonic views. His images are impossible – however much some may resemble reality (see his essay, "True Colours" at his website: ).
