Schwäbisch Hall, Alemanha, 1979. – Lives and works in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil and around the world.
PIPA 2016 nominee.

Daniel Beerstecher’s work, whether in video, photography, installation, object, has collage as its starting point. The artist associates environments with objects displaced from their original, predictable contexts, and thus builds new layers of meaning, from the plunge into the absurd. Daniel has lived in Brazil for four years, developing projects that combine his interest in nature with insights from his experience in cities such as Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, for example. With a trajectory of more than ten years of work, since 2012, he presents his works in the art circuit of Brazil, in addition to carrying out projects and projects abroad.

Em 2015, fez as individuais “Deslocamentos”, na Galeria Funarte de São Paulo, SP; “Viagem através”, na Fundação Joaquim Nabuco, em Recife, PE; e “Land-Sailor”, no Kunsthalle Göppingen e Kunstverein Wilhelmshöhe, na Alemanha. Ainda em 2015, participou da Bienal de Imagem em Movimento (Expanded Senses – B3 Biennale of the Moving Image), no Museum Angewandte Kunstem, Frankfurt, Alemanha, além de ter sido selecionado para participar da “Verbo”, Galeria Vermelho, São Paulo, SP e “Abre Alas”, A Gentil Carioca, Rio de Janeiro, RJ.
