Palimpsest 5 | Emilio Pemjean

Emilio Pemjean (Santiago de Chile, 1971) conceives his work from a multidisciplinary framework, connecting architecture, painting, video, and photography. The project he presents at Saisho constructs or reconstructs, through manipulation, remnants of now-nonexistent architectures, designing models and photographing them. Pemjean reflects on time, the present, the absent, and memory. In this case, photography abandons its traditional documentary function, capturing "truth," and introduces doubt about what is seen and naively accepted as real.
