| Summary: | In the late nineties, Fernando Bryce (Lima 1965) gave up painting to devote himself exclusively to drawing, performing a play based on what the artist himself calls mimetic analysis method eg ink copies of photographs, clippings newspaper ads, advertising or popular propaganda, among others, and bibliotecas.En files from the beginning, the intention was to make a study of the history of power and images of his country, Peru. But soon his archaeological and documentary research was extended to the landmarks and historical figures of the twentieth century, with a dual purpose: to recover documents and images that, in the past, had been deliberately relegated to oblivion by official historiography, to anchor in present those events to be quickly forgotten by the media power. Bryce claims a new image, made from a mechanical copy of documents, statistical plans, bureaucratic reports and pamphlets, while converting the image into a new form of writing, in a handwriting that shows the network of a specific historical events. This book takes the form of facsimile, the Americas series including South of the Border, now in the MOMA collection in a numbered edition of five hundred copies. ILLUSTRATIONS: 118 images |
