Rame Cuen (a. k. a. Ramón Jiménez Cuen, 1976, Ciudad de México) es un artista transdiscilpinario que explora el concepto del territorio-paisaje en sus dimensiones políticas y sociales, problematizando, en particular, el desplazamiento y la destrucción de identidad de las comunidades.

Sus obras muestran cómo la vida se extiende más allá de sus límites subjetivos activando narrativas en tensión entre una realidad del paisaje y una recuperada del pasado –en algunas ocasiones remoto y en otras cercano— desde la ficcionalidad del presente. Desafiando los binarios de identidad que continuamente reconstruimos entre el “Yo” y el “Otro”, entre "lo salvaje" y "lo civilizado".

Su obra es conceptual y relacional con una fuerte herencia visual, por esta razón, sus exploraciones en torno al paisaje operan en diversos niveles, como su dinámica, manipulación y los límites de sus efectos. A través de instalaciones y ambientes sonoros, Cuen construye una meta-ficción como forma de resistencia contra el postcolonialismo.
