Miguel De (Portugal, 1992) is a interdisciplinary artist, who works with photography, writing, performance, music and video. 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 practice focuses on the narrative device as an act of knowledge transmission. Through stories and speculations about the past and the future, he draws possibilities for relationships between reality and fiction, blurring the lines between the two, assuming narrative as a positive force for world building, as opposed to fact, a closed atom incapable of any continuity.
He published a photography book in 2021, “conhecer um corpo”. In 2022, he was included in the list of Best Portfolios, in an international portfolio review promoted by IMAGO Lisboa Photo Festival. In addition to his visual work, he is part of Circo Caótico with Daniel Seabra and Mafalda Gonçalves, where he is the author of the music and sound design for the collective's performances. He collaborates with BANQUETE - Association for Research and Creation in Performing Arts, also creating music and soundscapes for performance. From 2015 to 2017, he produced electronic music as Tundra Fault.
He collaborates with artists from various fields, such as João Pedro Rodrigues, Maria Trabulo, António da Silva, Daniel Seabra, Joana Castro, Júlio Cerdeira, Dora Vieira, David Machado, Distorted Vision, Rui P. Andrade (Canadian Rifles), and Lola Rossi.
