With 450 works belonging to a visual-textual diary that the artist has been developing since 2018. Using A4 leaves of paper, Blaufuks records the days showing us fragments of his life, instant photographs, collages, notes, cuttings and quotes, highlighting recurrent topics of his oeuvre such as memory and time, both personal and historical, and their representations.
Curated by João Pinharanda, this exhibition brings together works covering the whole of 2023, as well as, selected days from 2018 to 2022 and the first months of 2024. In 2020, the Book of Hours section of Electra 9 included a previously unpublished part of Daniel Blaufuks’s ‘diary’, which he started during the Covid-19 lock-downs between 24 April and 4 May of that year.
The exhibition can be visited until October 7th, 2024.
On this occasion, the book will be published in Portuguese as Os Dias Estão Numerados, by Tinta-da-China, and in English as The Days Are Numbered, by JBE/JKG Books.
