Statement
Armando Andrade Tudela (Lima, 1975) studied at the Universidad Católica del Perú before moving to London and Holland to continue his education. In 2008 he received the DAAD Küsntler porgramm Scholarship in Berlin, where he lived until 2014. Since then, Andrade Tudela has been living and working in Lyon, where he also teaches at ENSBA Lyon.
The artist associates much of his work with the notion of hauntology, a concept derived from Jacques Derrida's book Specters de Marx (1993) and developed by writer and cultural critic Mark Fisher. Fisher argues that certain ideas or forms from the past continue to reach the present even though they have disappeared from the cultural landscape.
In his work the artist questions the notions of origin and dissolution and their direct relationship to personal and/or collective trauma, either through the intersection of different modernist projects or cultural dislocations between Western and South American legacies.
