Born in 1978 in Acandí Choco [Colombia], lives and works in Rotterdam.

Rubén Dario Kleimeer initiates photographic projects on urban landscapes and public spaces. The series of images deal with social relative themes which are apparent in the contemporary city. With the gaze of an urban ethnographer, a researcher of spatial and social contexts, Rubén questions structures which are embedded in our urban society.
