Bio
Tiago Silva Nunes works at the intersection of photography, film, and essay.
In the past few years, his work has focused on photographing and writing about the ways in which memory, culture, and the imaginary are inscribed in the landscape, in the metropolises and mountains of Japan, the peaks of the Alps, and the deserts of the American Southwest, with a strong interest in architecture, film, and literature.
He was an independent researcher at the Yale Center for British Art and the Beinecke Library in New Haven, a time during which the focus of his work shifted to explore issues around the nature of representation and abstraction, color and space.
His earlier work explored fictional perspectives around the themes of the individual, the city and landscape in the contemporary metropolis, more specifically in London, Beijing, Lisbon and Rio de Janeiro.
His films have been screened at Raindance London, Indie Lisboa, São Paulo Film Festival and Illumenation Helsinki.
He studied film and architecture in Lisbon, Venice and Amsterdam. He lives and works in Lisbon.
