The poetics of waiting in the eyes of Daniel Blaufuks
The Vera Cortês Gallery presents (Still) Waiting for Godot , Daniel Blaufuks' seventh solo exhibition at this space, open from March 26 to May 16. The show brings together a collection of new photographs in various formats that invite reflection on the contemporary experience of time.
Waiting is not just an action: it is a way of inhabiting time. In waiting, minutes stretch out, accumulate, and remain suspended between expectation and delay. From this premise, Blaufuks constructs a visual proposal that references Samuel Beckett's celebrated work, Waiting for Godot , transferring its existential weight to the language of photography.
Far from offering linear narratives, the images suggest open and subtle relationships. Figures frozen in moments of waiting, seascapes, trees, ruins, and everyday gestures configure a fragmented universe permeated by ideas such as travel, exile, memory, and fragility. Each photograph functions as an echo of what came before and a foreshadowing of what will come next, generating a network of connections that never fully close.
The exhibition layout and the variety of formats reinforce this tension between dispersion and connection. The exhibition offers an experience in which signs of destruction coexist with gestures of reunion, as well as fragments of nature that allude to different temporal scales: from the suspended instant of the photograph to the almost geological duration of certain landscapes.
In this sense, (Still) Waiting for Godot unfolds as a kind of visual waiting room. A space where the gaze is both activated and paused, and where photography becomes an exercise in paying attention to the present, situated in that delicate balance between memory, expectation, and possibility.
