Caleb Stein is a Brooklyn-based artist, writer, and editor working across photography, video, installation, and artist books. He treats attention as a raw material that widens perception, believes Anonymous is the greatest photographer, and trusts the world’s richness over the studio. He is co-founder and editor of “September”, an annual artist-run anthology whose inaugural issue is “Map of Maps”, and his criticism has appeared in “Dear Dave”. His books include “Down by the Hudson” (Palo Gallery Press, 2026), with texts by Amitava Kumar, Anita N. Bateman, Daniel Wolff, and Matt Carey-Williams, and “How to Move a Mountain” (Luhz Press, 2024), with a text by David Campany. With Andrea Orejarena he works as Orejarena & Stein, whose books include “American Glitch” (Gnomic Book, 2024) and “Long Time No See” (Jiazazhi Press, 2022), with a text by Forensic Architecture. The duo received the FOAM Talent Award and had a solo museum exhibition at Deichtorhallen Hamburg, which traveled to Photoforum Pasquart. His work is held by the Getty, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, and has been featured in “The New Yorker”, “The New York Times”, and “The Guardian”.
