Marcelo Brodsky’s work is characterized by the use of photography as a tool for investigating and exposing memories and traumas, in an attempt to reconstruct the effects of the dictatorship in his native country.

The artist participated in the 29th São Paulo International Biennial with the work “El Rio de la Prata”, and his project “Buena Memoria” was exhibited at Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo in 2012. Brodsky has already been exhibited in national and international museums, and many integrate important public and private collections. Recently some of his work was acquired by the Tate Modern and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

The photographs presented in the exhibition Tiempo de Árbol are centered on the relationship between nature and the artist’s personal history. Absences, reunions, time, accompany a visual narrative centered on the poetic and effective suggestions.

The project originated from an academic essay by Eduardo Cadava, a professor at Princeton University, which deals with the relationship between tree and memory in the work of Marcelo Brodsky.

This essay, accompanied by photographs by Brodsky, was published in a book of the same name, which can be accessed here.
