One of the main characteristic of contemporary art is the investigation of the individual capacity of detecting what technology offer as a response to the artistic restlessness inside each of us. Regarding this, the photography possibilities as a field of language exploration become an infinite universe.
Born in Porto Alegre, Brazil, in 1978, Leticia Lampert, bachelor in Graphic Design, searches in images a way to query, to take apart and to bring together the visible reality. In 2008, when her first solo exhibition was held and when selected for the 12º Salão Paulista of Contemporary Art, she made a decisive step.
Throughout the photo collage mechanism, she shows the relativity of what we understand as truth. By juxtaposing a variety of photos, she creates a kind of sense, but brings weirdness at the same time. Fences, graffiti and architecture elements are placed in new perspectives to create imaginary residences.
The images work as allegories of a society marked by discontinuity and fragmentation. Fearing what we see and the unknown, the universe presented by the South Brazilian artist shows us what we avoid to see, a disconnected reallity, exactly the way it is, but like we don’t want to admit.
Leticia Lampert offers a distinguished vision of the space to the viewers, with figures that clearly want to be connected, but at the same time cannot do that in harmony. The main point is the presentation of a great number of images that inquire the everyday life and put it in a different way; defiant and uncomfortable, though poetically beautiful.
