Summary:

Ishmael Randall Weeks (Cusco, 1976) uses found slides from the 1970's and 1980's of Peru, which he alters to reflect on the violence of the country's multidecade struggle for democracy. He creates works on paper, sculpture, and mixed media installations that often incorporate found and recycled objects. His work encompasses site-specific installations, sculpture, video, and works on paper. Without being critic or melancholic, here is a memory of modernization form from the part in search of a future that strove to be better. The unspecific images all likely taken between 1960-70, but some perhaps before- portray beach scenes, students (students: that civilian contingency that grew at rate of the modernized Peru) and modest plazas of provincial pasts. Although their colors, textures, and origins allude to a mere domestic remembrance, perhaps the series should be considered a collection of images of the countryœs public memory.ʺ--Page [147]

Limited edition of 250 numbered copies.

"Although their colors, textures, and origins allude to a more domestic remembrance, perhaps the series should be considered a collection of images of the country's public memory. As part of the multichannel installation from which they originally derive, they reference - intentionally or not - the Allegory of the Cave. Consequently, through this dark registry, they are part of a desired-though-elusive reality, sort of like a ashback, that also documents a period of mass territorial urbanization that took place half a century ago, rede ning Peruvian reality on many levels.
