Trained as an architect, Jorge Yeregui then embraced a career in the field of photography, although he keeps close ties with architecture as a teacher and researcher. The subject of his photographic work, which he usually unfolds as visual essays, also originates from his training and continued research: core to it is his keen observation of urban settings and gardens, as well as landscapes that have been altered by human activity. A new kind of nature emerges, and particularly so when all kinds of life forms re-occupy a territory once claimed by humans and left in dissaray.
Atajos (shortcuts, or interceptions) consists of a series of over 500 small analog photographs which compose a larger abstract image, almost like pixels form a digital image. Upon close examination, each picture depicts a site where a projected real estate development never came to fruition. The result is a landscape of empty plots of land connected by a network of roads and all kinds of infrastructure usually built before buildings.

Yeregui performs extensive photographic series on the topics he covers. Series in which he often resorts to irony or tries to highlight contrasts that make viewers take a second glance at details that otherwise might have been overlooked by them. He has always been seduced by landscape, in all its possible forms.
