Juan Couder (Juan García Couder, b. 1998) is a Spanish studio based artist whose experimental practice moves around notions of authorship, temporality and materiality in the field of expanded photography. With a central concern in gaze as a form of knowledge, Juan plays with somewhat radical proposals as means to seek an embodied understanding of the world, built by process and relations of experience; while unpicking the photographic emphasis upon fixity.

Member of the Bioart Society since 2022, Couder graduated from EFTI, in Spain in 2019, and he completed his Master of Arts in Photography at Aalto University in 2023. Couder's work has been presented internationally, including MoA 23 at the Finnish Museum of Photography, Plat(t)form 23 at Fotomuseum Winterthur, representing the image of the Helsinki Photomedia Conference 2024, "Contact of Models" and has been awarded by the Comunidad de Madrid in "Circuitos 2024", whose exhibition can be visited at the Sala de Arte Joven until February 2nd. Couder is also participating in the GlogauAir residency until December and will present his solo exhibition "Winter Solstice: Exercises for a Clepsydra" from December 11th to January 17th at the Finnish Cultural Institute in Madrid.
