"While our feelings toward what we photograph may be universal, they change with time. Working with archives lets me trace that shift." - Daura Campos
Daura Campos is a visual artist and photographer based in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Her artistic practice investigates social issues through experimental photographic techniques, treating analog film as an active, reactive medium to spark dialogue about photography and its role in society. Her work reshapes visual fragments into layered stories, reimagining how images are perceived, understood, and remembered. Daura has exhibited at the CICA Museum (South Korea), MK Gallery (England), Rotterdam Photo (Netherlands), Pinakothek der Moderne (Germany), Museum of Art of Pereira (Colombia), Gallery 44 (Canada), and Open Eye Gallery (England), among others. Her work has been recognized by the IPA – The International Photo Awards with an Official Selection Prize (2024), Analog Sparks Awards with 2nd Place in the Technique category (2024), and a high commendation from The JUST Art Award (2023), among others. Graduated in Film and Media from PUC Minas in 2024, Daura works as an independent artist and teaches courses and workshops on historical and experimental photographic processes in person and online, in Brazil and abroad.
