Kate Ferguson (USA) is a photographer, writer, and filmmaker based in Mexico City. Her multidisciplinary practice is rooted in an appreciation for the threshold moments where transformation occurs and realities blur. 

The spiritual and mystical play a large influence, both as a topic of observation and a way of being. Through her work, she considers nostalgic liminality, the sensation of memory, and decisions that lead to psychological and spiritual evolution, particularly in regard to self-actualization. 

Storytelling is central to all areas of her work. In photography, Kate gravitates toward raw, energetic compositions and vibrant color saturation. She often uses vintage analog film cameras and alternative processes like film soup, which alters the film during development and introduces an element of unpredictability. Her approach is hands-on, intuitive, and led by curiosity.

In her writing, whether through non-fiction narrative texts or film scripts, she focuses on emotional and psychological evolution, especially the small decisions or encounters that quietly shape the direction of a life. Her stories often center on personal reflection and interpersonal dynamics.
