Exhibit Gallery presents the photographic exhibition Fusco, bringing together for the first time, in an intimate dialogue, three prominent Portuguese artists —Daniel Blaufuks, Gil Heitor Cortesão, and Rita Magalhães— whose works converse through a shared sensitivity toward memory, perception, and the in-between states of the image.

The conceptual starting point is the Portuguese term fusco, which refers to the crepuscular; to that moment when light begins to fade and contours soften. This notion functions as the axis of the exhibition: a liminal territory where the visible shifts toward ambiguous, silent zones filled with emotional resonance. This intermediate dimension—neither absolute clarity nor total shadow—serves here as a metaphor for thinking about the way these three artists approach image-making, time, and memory.
