FAV festival de las artes, Centex – Valparaiso 2012

Fotografías análogas.

Invitado por el ministerio de cultura de Chile, Brisso Pifferi realiza una interaccion durante las fechas del festival. Con anterioridad recicla 4 distintas neveras, en distintos cerros de la comuna de Valparaíso, en cada lugar transforma las nevera en camara y comparte la tecnica con los pobladores. Finalmente los dias del festival se instala en diversas plazas publicas, las mas transitada, donde realiza retratos colectivo con la nevera fotografica a los transeuntes. En la performance el artista tiene un furgon adaptado como cuarto oscuro movil, donde revela las imágenes analogas, para compartirlas en publico y divulgar la experiencia.


In 2023, the Bienal 1.1 is held under the concept of “Coup” (“Golpe” in Spanish), commemorating 50 years of the military coup on Chile.

The artist generates analog photographs from parts of the body, with a poetic view and in a B&W technique, giving connotation to each image and using the sinécdoque to express his idea.

Images are printed in large format fabrics, hanged in the limits of the old factory of Huanchaca, between desert and sea, creating tension and liberty images; fabrics that seem to dance with the local wind are tied to the fences producing tension and also material wear, same as wear of the images that soon will disappear.

The concept of “Des aparecer” (to disappear) talks about these hundred of bodies that have been found in common pits and the bottom of the sea, tortured and kidnapped by the dictatorship. Memories, past and present, ephemeral and transcendental, it is the human journey throughout history, same as fragile memory of Chilean people.
