Institution / Organization
2023/12/06 - 2023/12/06 "Drifts - Daniel Blaufuks in conversation with Ana Gandum and Sandra Camacho": The premise of this conversation was the wandering of and through images, an attempt at drifting through Daniel Blaufuks's extensive oeuvre, where the articulation between photography and site does not ignore the relationship between, on the one hand, public and private memory, and, on the other, the appropriation of text and moving image.
