Feco Hamburger’s universe emerges between science and chance. He uses photography to create fields of experience in flat, three-dimensional pieces and video installations. An expert galaxy builder, Feco Hamburger establishes an exploratory poetics around image, time and matter, building a machine of illusions.
In the course of more than 20 years of a consistent career, with works in the collections of Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, Coleção Itaú de Fotografia Brasileira and in the French National Library, Hamburger draws attention to the speculative character of photography, by using photographic devices, processes and protocols to model the world, instead of just recording it. Although born in and marked by the exploration of the limits of photographic language and technique, Hamburger’s poetics overflows the specificities of this language, fluidly entering the speculative and torrential field of contemporary image production. As defined by the critic and curator Ícaro Ferraz Jr., these works are born by precipitation, without any previous reality to the action of the artist-alchemist, who creates the solutions in which they come to exist. Thus, images are obtained as residues of processes, in a myriad of elements: rays of light, apparatuses and trappings, printers, papers, displays, scanners, water, oil, soap, sprinklers etc. “Feco Hamburger’s use of photography brings him closer to figures like Eadweard Muybridge and Étienne-Jules Marey who, with their studies of movement, pioneered the use of the photographic image as an instrument of knowledge, beyond the documentary, expressive, and representational potential of the new optical technology. Hamburger’s images are born from a similar impulse: the artist does not predict or calculate much of the phenomena we see in his works. That is why his poetics is an unceasing source of wonder, summoning us to the difficult experience of seeing for the first time, in an age marked by an avalanche of images that tames the gaze, reducing vision to recognition,” he defines.
