Walter Hugo

Who is Walter Hugo?

Walter Hugo is a London based artist, working in the medium of sculpture, photography, film and performance.

Hugo has exhibited at SHOWstudio, showing part of his body of work 'Reflecting The Bright Lights'. This formed part of the 'Practice to Deceive' exhibition in April 2011. For this body of work he built a room-sized camera and utilised an 18th-century lens to create a series of portraits shot directly onto glass plates. During the course of the exhibition, he re-built the camera on site in SHOWstudio for an online live stream of the process of creating the portraits.
