Born 1965 in Lima (Peru), he lives and works in Berlin and Lima.
According to the artist, “history is diluted in images.” Fernando Bryce reproduces newspaper headlines in drawing, using a technique that in his early days he called “mimetic analysis,” a translation of the archive by means of drawing. Fascinated by the document, his drawings replay history, which he composes using media archives. His exhibitions juxtapose the drawings of titles with distinct viewpoints as if they were all ways of producing and receiving history, offering the viewer a panoptical vision of events. In 2011 he thus juxtaposed series of drawings reproducing the headlines from newspapers published in June 1944: Das Reich, a weekly propaganda newspaper founded by Goebbels, and Der Aufbau, a German Jewish newspaper later published in New York. With this artist, history appears not as a chronological sequence of facts but as something recomposed through the filter of authoritative media accounts.
Every years since 2008 the Printemps de Septembre and the Centre d’Art de Colomiers have worked together to put on an exhibition directly related to the annual theme of the Printemps festival.
