Christian Fuchs is a Peruvian-Chilean artist whose work revolves around rethinking family and personal memory. His latest series, “Transgeneration,” uses photography as a medium to evoke his ancestors. Through performance, costumes, characterization and sometimes: prosthetics, Fuchs is able to use his body as a vehicle to transport us to the past. “Whatever it takes,” he says--going all the way from shaving to letting a beard grow for almost a year, he strives to appear as similar as the character he is going to play.
Dorothea Viehmann was one of the main sources for the tales of the Grimm Brothers. She was born as Catharina Dorothea Pierson in Rengerhausen, near Kassel as the daughter of Jean Isaac Pierson, owner of a tavern and Martha Gertrud Spangenber.
Natividad was the daughter of a wealthy landowner, Don Juan José Martínez de Pinillos, former royal lieutenant of Trujillo and Peruvian Aristocrat: Josefa Cacho y Lavalle. She was a socialite and enjoyed living an opulent lifestyle--much like many girls like her.
Eduard will be remembered in history for being the brilliant mind behind the Terpodium--an instrument similar to the piano. His invention took him on travels around the world, getting to play for Kings and Emperors and easily jumping from one place to another. It is said that his singing allowed people to connect and that he was a truly empathetic person.
Carl arrived in Osorno, Chile from Germany as a true pioneer. Back home, he had studied Business but did not believe in it and wished to find another kind of life in another side of the world.
