White City (2007)

This project looks at the differences between imagined possibilities and reality through the eyes of a migrant. Lunar House is perceived as the front line of Britain’s immigration service and is, for many people, the first step in a quest to be accepted into a carefully-regulated ‘inside State.’

The building which houses the UK Border Agency, a fearfully drab concrete slab of bureaucracy in East Croydon, is placed in relation to two almost symmetrical portraits of Leon, a blonde British child.

Intuitive Projects – work in progress

With Intuitive Projects, I respond to the alluring discovery of having an illustrious ancestor, in whose mind I seem to find uncannily similar patterns and preoccupations.

The project began with a gift from my grand-mother, the photographic album Sun&Shadow, which depicts the Guevara’s eccentric upbring. The photographs follow their family passage from Valparaíso to Harrogate, England in 1906, after a devastating earthquake had left their home in ruins. The photographs follow the life on the Guevara’s in Harrogate and their Grand European Tour until 1915, when the family returned to Chile threatened by the shadow of the War – except for Álvaro who stayed in London to pursue his artistic career.

“Chilean-born, painter, poet, playboy and boxer, Álvaro Guevara (1894-1951) moved to England and won a scholarship to study at the Slade School of Fine Art between 1912 and 1916. Having established himself as an artist, he was associated with the Bloomsbury circle. Eventually, despite his ambiguous sexual orientation, he married the painter Meraud Guinness, an inquisitive adventuress that was the elder daughter of multimillionaire banker Benjamin Guinness, part of the Guinness brewery clan. Guevara lived between Valparaiso, London, Paris and Aix-en-Provence. Most of his paintings were exhibited with some acclaim in the 1920s and 1930s. However, the majority of his body of work had been reduced to ashes when a bomb fell on December 9th, 1940 on the warehouses of James Bourlet & Sons, where Alvaro had arranged for it to be stored during the war. Three of Guevara’s surviving paintings are held in the Tate Gallery collection.” (Chiocchetti, 2015)

From and beyond the album, since 2013, I have collected substantial archival materials from the family archive, found images and made new drawings and photographic work.

Mapping Domeyko (2014-2017)

Ignacy Domeyko was born on the 31st July 1802 in Niedźwiadka Wielka (in present day Belarus), and died on 23 January 1889 in Santiago, Chile. His life and career can be described as typical of a landowner born in the annexed territories and forced to emigrate. Domeyko was born in Kresy Wschodnie (Eastern Borderlands), in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and studied in Vilnius, where he was a member of the Philomath Society, befriended the poet Adam Mickiewicz and participated in the November Uprising. After the collapse of the uprising, he emigrated to Prussia, and later to France, where he completed his graduate studies in mining. In winter of 1838, he left for Chile to take up the post of a lecturer in chemistry and study the geology of the country.

Mapping Domeyko is an attempt to reconstruct the adventures and endeavours of Ignacy Domeyko. Based on his diaries Moje podróże: Pamiętnik wygnańca (My Travels: Memoirs of an Exile), we travelled to Argentina, Belarus, Chile, France, Lithuania and Poland following the steps of Domeyko. During these trips, we collected archival materials and produced new artworks, including drawings, maps, moving images, photographs, performances, objects, and writings that were exhibited as a site-specific installations. Project developed in collaboration with Jakub Bojczuk.
