Daniel Duque
Born in 1999 (Colombia)
Daniel Duque is a Colombian artist working in the fields of film, installation and drawing. His artistic practice aims to generate new dialogues within the tangled web of ‘reality’, where the personal, water, history and the supernatural interact. The relationship between territoriality and corporeality is a fundamental concept in his work, which is informed by his study of the rhythms of the Afro-Colombian diaspora. By drawing on both new and ancestral forms of knowledge and technology, Daniel seeks out new fissures in time, capable of fracturing and recomposing the formal and narrative structures of the present. His work is deeply shaped by the experience of migration and by a state of the body in the making, which permeates his conception of the moving image. Daniel lives and works in France, where he puts together projects joining Latin America and Europe. His films have been screened at international festivals such as CPH:DOX (Denmark), Alternativa FF (Colombia), GO Short (Netherlands), Vienna Shorts (Austria), amongst others. Daniel studied at Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains in the Martha Graham cohort (2024–2026).
