analogías temporales

Analogías temporales present two projects which although set in different historical contexts relate to each other, once they are placed side by side at the gallery. El azul de la distancia (2015) by Sandra Nakamura is a group of silkscreen prints made from a photograph of Frank Hurley after the expedition of the Endurance, taken during the failed Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of Ernest Shackleton in 1914. The images sus-pended from the ceiling and consecutively ordered in the space, range from low to high contrast, ending in the gradual disappearance of the photographic image. Meanwhile the series of photographs printed in lenticu-lar sheets by Arturo Kameya and Claudia Martínez, belong to the series Mass illusion (2012), based on pho-tographs of 1950s Korean Mass Games, where groups of young gymnasts compose huge images in a collective way with hand-posters, forming figures that symbolized the Korean People’s Democratic Republic of Kim II –Sung.

Both projects appropriate historical existent photographs and worked to force the evocation of a temporality found in the original image by creating different final artworks. Its metaphorical appeal tries to demon-strate enthusiasm and the heroic future of collective work in both endeavors and by opposite correspondence, these efforts express the subordination of the individual by the collective. The multiple readings in the contrast of both projects reveal characteristics and differences of the photographic medium in each of the images: exposure, timing and multiplicity are delicately arranged in Nakamura´s installation and circular works of Kameya-Martinez. During the month of photography in Lima the gallery offers works which use pho-tographic medium as a starting point to develop works which surpass the medium itself in form and content.
