tatiana macedo

Tatiana Macedo has been creating for almost 20 years in the expanded fields of photography, film-essay, installation and sound. With a transdisciplinary approach and a background in Fine Arts and Visual Anthropology, her work – distinguished nationally and internationally – is experimental, poetic and critical.

Seems So Long Ago, Nancy (2012), her first film, was shot at Tate Britain and Tate Modern in London. During the shoot, Tatiana Macedo spent three months recording sounds and images that focus on the bodies of the museum’s security guards. This work was awarded the SAW Film Prize by the American Anthropological Association – AAA (Washington DC, 2014) and shown in museums, galleries and film festivals around the world. In 2015, she was the first winner of the Sonae Media Art Prize with the video installation 1989 and, in the same year, she received the João Hogan Scholarship from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation to attend the International Studio Program at Künstlerhaus Bethanien, in Berlin, as a resident artist for 12 months. In 2020, INTERSECCIÓN – A Coruña International Film Festival dedicated a retrospective to her. She is also represented in various public and private collections, such as those of the Portuguese Ministry of Culture, MAAT / EDP Foundation, Lisbon City Council, MNAC-MC – National Museum of Contemporary Art in Chiado and the Otazu Foundation.

In the artist’s words, “Photography and cinema are as much about what they reveal as what they hide. Drawing an analogy with sound, it can be said that Photography and Cinema exist in the intervals of silence”. It is with this idea that Tatiana Macedo will present a new installation as part of CINEX, the Braga 25 Portuguese Capital of Culture.

this exhibition is part of the cinex program of braga 25 portuguese capital of culture.
