Miguel De (Portugal, 1992) is a transdisciplinary artist working across photography, video, writing, sound and performance. His practice unfolds around narrative as a device for constructing reality, exploring how memory, fiction and image shape contemporary perceptions of the body, identity and experience. He has a master's degree in Photography from Escola das Artes da Universidade Católica Portuguesa (2022) and a degree in Cinema and Audiovisual from Escola Superior Artística do Porto (2013). He lives in Braga.
His work inhabits ambiguous territories between document and staging, archive and imagination, intimacy and mediation. He approaches the image not as proof, but as an unstable surface, continuously reproduced, manipulated and rewritten, where desire, language and technology become tools for speculating on the present. His work moves across hybrid formats including installation, film, publishing and performance, intersecting cinema, photography and sound experimentation.
His film “O Meu Amor do Rancho” premiered in the National Competition at IndieLisboa in 2026. He published a photography book in 2021, “conhecer um corpo”. From 2015 to 2017, he produced electronic music under the name Tundra Fault.
He regularly collaborates with various artists, creating soundtracks and live video for performances, as well as artistic and stage photography, having worked with João Pedro Rodrigues, Maria Trabulo, António da Silva, Coletivo SillySeason, Daniel Seabra, Jo Castro, outro / Sílvio Vieira, Júlio Cerdeira, Dora Vieira, David Machado, Distorted Vision, Rui P. Andrade (Canadian Rifles), and Lola Rossi.
