I'm a collector, apprentice, accumulator, and visual artist interested in the materiality of the image and its mutant properties.
I work across installation, photography, collage, and video.
On this website, I bring together works that share an interest in ideas of freedom, language, rest, precarity, borders...
I was born in Alicante (Spain) in 1985.
I live and work between London and Alicante.
Feijóo's images pose a discontinuity, a constant displacement, a becoming, a continuous difference. Multiple, diverse, mutant, open to what is strange, foreign, queer pictures appear as opposed to unique, serial, or typological pictures. Photographs that go one step further, or further into, the photographic collage and that suppose a mise en abyme as a result of the inclusion of some pictures within others. Certain dualisms can be perceived in his work, but they act more in contiguity, in affinity than in opposition. Pictures invade the walls without a defined frame: diverse materials that unite bodies and objects showing a shared matter; soft bodies on hard surfaces or altered and residual landscapes.
Alberto Feijóo lives among pictures. They are physical bodies that invade his studio and are no longer records of a lived moment. They are not representations and do not activate memories, but rather fortuitous encounters, always partial, fragmented connections. He pictures work by establishing links, proposing syntheses between heterogeneous realities, rather than reconciling opposites.
