Bio

Daniel Blaufuks has been exploring the tension between opacity and transparency, a theme that runs across the work and spans a broad spectrum — from variations in light to the recreation of historical memory and the very construction of time — through an idea of intimacy and everyday life. Questioning the role of the photographic image within the context of the pictorial flow in an increasingly digital world, he relies primarily on photography, video, and more recently collage.

In 2016, he received the AICA Award for the exhibitions Tentativa de Esgotamento and Léxico. He holds a PhD from the University of Wales, with a thesis on photography and memory in relation to the works of W. G. Sebald and Georges Perec. His films — expanded photographs — have been presented at various film festivals, and his most recent works explore the resistance to the German occupation in Brittany and colonialism in São Tomé and Príncipe, while continuing his non-diary the days are numbered.

Blaufuks’s work has been exhibited at institutions such as the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (Lisbon), the Eugène Delacroix Museum (Paris), the Serralves Museum (Porto), and MAAT (Lisbon), among others. His work is included in various public and private collections, notably the Calouste Gulbenkian Collection (Lisbon), the Contemporary Art Collection – Lisboa Cultura, the PLMJ Collection (Lisbon), the EDP Foundation Collection (Lisbon), MACAM (Lisbon), the Jan Michalski Foundation (Montricher), the New York Public Library (New York), Palazzo delle Papesse (Siena), Sagamore Art Collection (Miami), The Progressive Collection (Ohio), Vasco Collection (Lisbon), Portuguese Center of Photography (Porto), Center for Visual Arts (Coimbra).

Daniel Blaufuks tem trabalhado a tensão entre opacidade e transparência, que atravessa o seu trabalho e nele percorre um amplo arco que vai desde as variações da luz à recriação da memória histórica e da própria construção do tempo, através de uma ideia de intimidade e de quotidiano. Questionando igualmente o papel da imagem fotográfica no contexto do fluxo pictórico num mundo cada vez mais digital, recorre principalmente à fotografia, vídeo, e mais recentemente à colagem.

Em 2016, recebeu o prémio AICA pelas exposições Tentativa de Esgotamento e Léxico. É doutorado pela University of Wales, com uma tese sobre fotografia e memória em relação com as obras de W. G. Sebald e Georges Perec. Os seus filmes – “fotografias expandidas” – têm sido apresentados em diversos festivais de cinema e os seus trabalhos mais recentes estudam a resistência à ocupação alemã na Bretanha, o colonialismo em São Tomé e Príncipe, continuando o seu não-diário os dias estão numerados.

A obra de Blaufuks tem sido apresentada em instituições como a Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian (Lisboa), o Museu Eugéne Delacroix (Paris), Museu de Serralves (Porto), MAAT (Lisboa), entre outras. O seu trabalho integra diversas coleções do domínio públicas e privadas, entre as quais se destacam a Coleção Calouste Gulbenkian (Lisboa), Coleção de Arte Contemporânea – Lisboa Cultura, Coleção PLMJ (Lisboa), Coleção Fundação EDP (Lisboa), MACAM (Lisboa), a Fundação Jan Michalski (Montricher), a New York Public Library (Nova Iorque), Palazzo delle Papesse (Siena), Sagamore Art Collection (Miami), The Progressive Collection (Ohio), Vasco Collection (Lisboa), Centro Português de Fotografia (Porto), Centro de Artes Visuais (Coimbra).
