Passage of Time: Liz Fernando

PRSFG is pleased to announce a solo presentation of Liz Fernando's Passage of Time. A speculative investigation into the fragility of memory, Passage of Time serves as an intervention into historical archives. As the impressions left by time renders an otherwise unaltered archive on human history obscure, Fernando’s intervention into Albert Khan’s Les Archives de la Planète interrogates the indelible effect of colonial practices on our perception of cultural identities and histories.

Liz Fernando’s  (b. 1982, Hanover; lives and works in Colombo, London and Hamburg) work finds its roots in conceptual research. A graduate of the prestigious LCC Photography Programme at the University of the Arts, London, Fernando has exhibited her work at notable presentations, including KALĀ 2024, Colombo (2024), Chennai Photo Biennale, Chennai (2019), Aicon Gallery, New York (2017), SaffronArt, New York (2016), Colombo Art Biennale, Colombo (2016) and Tate Modern, London (2011). Liz Fernando is the recipient of Photoworks Brighton Graduate Prize and the KHOJ International Artists Association Curatorial Intensive South Asia Fellowship. Her work is part of the collection at the World Bank Headquarters, Washington D.C.
