Images overlap, one on top of the other, like fragments of distinct experiences. In this way, diverse places and displaced times intertwine in these works, but more than that, they instigate comparative movement and connections. Different situations of subjective experience, indicators of different cultures, tear the continuity of the images and simultaneously simulate an impossible continuity.
In the subtlety of these procedures that photography allows, Letícia Lampert’s work opens up an intriguing exchange between the moment of recording and the vast field of experimentation. These works lead to a re-evaluation of the context of the places apprehended in their initial moment, subsequently opening up new ones through the use of superimposition. They bring to the surface of the images the deterritorialization of spaces and cultures and their rearticulation with others, captured in different parts of the globe, such as Brazil and Australia.
These works open themselves to multifocal perspectives of understanding, whether on matters of subjectivity and forms of existence, or on cultures in their particular movements, and also on the temporal conceptions of human experience.
More than that, these images seduce us to think about the passages between the real and the virtual, in which these poetic thresholds impose themselves as an irresistible invitation to thought.
