Jerez de la Frontera (Cádiz), 1986.

He took an International Master's Degree in Contemporary Photography and Personal Projects at EFTI (Madrid) on full scholarship and completed another master's course in Project Development at BlankPaper (Madrid). As a multidisciplinary artist, Lagata finds it perfectly natural to combine and remix fields, materials and sources, regardless of their provenance or resemblance to pre-existing models.

He has attended various master classes and workshops with artists such as Isidoro Valcárcel Medina, Christian Patterson and Ricardo Cases, among others. Lagata was a finalist in the second 20º FotoPres "la Caixa" competition, and he was selected to participate in the 5th Encontro de artistas novos at Cidade da Cultura (Galicia), Paraty em Foco (Brazil), Encontros da imagen (Portugal), Descubrimientos PHE 14 (Madrid) and Cuadernos de la Kursala (Cádiz). Co-founder of the Zunder Collective, he has also worked as a curator, organising cultural events like the "Photobook's Invaders" symposium (Matadero Madrid) and curating the installation VETA with Rosell Meseguer (Complutense University of Madrid).
