Over the years, Daniel Blaufuks (b. 1963, lives in Lisbon, Portugal) has engaged in a daily exercise of poetry, introspection, meditation. Each day, on a sheet of paper, he meticulously creates a composition combining his instant photographs, found images, documents and words in the languages he speaks (English, Portuguese, German, French), before stamping it with a number.Entitled The Days Are Numbered, this vast project resembles an imprecise daily notebook - Blaufuks refers to it as a “non-diary” - at the intersection between individual and collective memory. Nourished by a succession of states of mind, manifesting the eternal return of things, seasons, places or facts, The Days Are Numbered challenges our programmed amnesia.This book contains pages no. 1840 to 2206 from the year 2023.“A diary is also an act of resistance.”— Daniel Blaufuks
