Happy birthday dear Fernando Bryce!!! “Ich war dabei (I was there)”, an artwork composed of eight drawings that revolves around the representations and critical reception of Werner Herzog’s renowned 1982 film, as well as the documentary about the film titled Burden of Dreams.
Bryce’s work reexamines how historical events are represented in print media through what he describes as “mimetic analysis”: the careful reproduction of archival materials such as advertisements, newspaper articles, and propaganda, creating new critical reconstructions of the past.
