“ All that is behind each of his works reflects a process of personal and autobiographical experiences, but which result transcends, at the mercy of the viewer. It is his own artistic practice that articulates and develops the first idea or impulse that triggers the action. [...]
Juan Yuste comes from experimental theater: he was formed in the School of Dramatic Arts and completed his training in Madrid, where he studied new forms of drama and post dramaturgia. That was how, gradually and increasingly, he became interested in the art of performance, as his own work made him push beyond the limits imposed by the theater, realizing that only through his work as performer could he reach the creative freedom to express himself. His works are far from an immovable storyline and storytelling, the work of Yuste is disconnected from the usual dramatic space. For Juan there is no separation between performing and visual arts, in his work deep exchanges between the two occur, with a production that moves, as we have seen, in the fields of poetry and photography.
Juan says he has always loved to take pictures, but decided to develop professionally as a photographer when he discovered that he was not satisfied by photographic practice subordinated to the documentation of his performances. Therefore he raised the challenge, apparently impossible, to encapsulate the lived experience of the performance in a static image, that while beautiful, gained its own identity as a work.
