“Poem to Open Space II”

Fagus is one of the names with which Daniel Kairoz signs his works, which range from choreographic architectural works, urban projects, creations of choreographic rites, book publishing and management of Phármakon publishing, film direction and editing, dance sculptures, dance pieces, soundscapes, poems, photographs, etc.

He began his studies with drawing and music. With a degree in Communication of the Body Arts, since 2011 he has started using different names to name his different poetic gestures, the various materializations and manifestations in his works. Fagus gives name to the materializations closest to the field of poetry and the poetics of things. A search for the sun of each thing. Since 2011 he has dedicated himself to the study of the color gold, its luminous force and the spiritual force that it evokes through matter. Since then he has started calling his works poems, despite working with different materials and media, this is because he uses poetic structures of versification and composition to create his works, but also because of the Greek experience of the word that says to bring something into existence. His works are openings of fields in space from the luminous power of matter, evoking its magical force, acting directly on the composition of space. Stone, earth, light, cups, plastic bags, packaging, displaced, placed in relation, with the intention of resignifying ritualistic territories, an enchanted iconography crosses cracks invading new terrains and terreiros.

His first solo show was in 2016: "the next events will clarify all this:, curated by Maria Montero (Sé Galeria); he has two book-poems released by the publisher Phármakon, both in 2013; of the exhibitions he participated in, the following stand out: "Artistas Comem Art Palacio" (2014, Cine Art Palacio); "Soma Não-Zero" (2013, curated by Maria Montero, Phosphorus + Galeria Jaqueline Martins); "Em Aberto" (2012, curated by Maria Montero, Phosphorus); "Acaso" (2012, curated by Mariana De Benedetto, Viga Espaço Cênico).
