About
In this webinar, Daniel Blaufuks draws from his own projects and publications (including Under Strange Skies, Terezín, Works in Memory, and The Days are Numbered) to explore the relationship between photography and memory. Through examples of his work, he examines how visual processes and archival practices shape both personal and collective memory, and how these influence future narratives.
The session also considers how memory—intentional or not—has always been embedded in photography, and how different layers of remembrance, including constructed memory, can be mobilized within political discourse. Participants will gain insight into the dynamic interplay between remembering and forgetting, and how these forces inform the meaning and power of images.
Daniel Blaufuks has worked on the relationship between public and private memory, a constant theme of inquiry in his work as a visual artist, pursued chiefly through photography and video and presented in installations, books and films. In 2007, he published Sob Céus Estranhos (Tinta-da-china) – based on his film Under Strange Skies from 2002 – which earned him the award for best photography book of the year in the international category at PhotoEspaña. He was also awarded a prize in 2007 for his work about a concentration camp in the Czech Republic, additionally presented in the book Terezín (Steidl, 2010) and the film As If (2014). In 2016, he won the AICA/MC/Millennium BCP Visual Arts Award for the exhibitions Attempting Exhaustion and Léxico. More recently, he has published Não Pai (Tinta-da-china, 2019) and Lisboa Clichê (Tinta-da-china, 2021).
He has a PhD from the University of Wales, for which he wrote his thesis on the relationship of photography and cinema to the work of W.G. Sebald and Georges Perec and to the themes of memory and the Holocaust.
His films – “expanded photographs” –have been shown at various film festivals and his latest works examine the resistance to German occupation in Brittany and colonialism in São Tomé and Príncipe, as well as continuing his ongoing non-diary The Days Are Numbered.
