In 'The Buzzer', Miguel Proença (PT) investigates shifting identities and geopolitical tensions in the Baltic states. It examines how historical antagonisms between Russia and the West continue to play out in these former Soviet territories. Combining photography, archival imagery, and extensive research, Proença traces the transformation of these landscapes and societies under competing cultural and political influences. A key aspect of the project is the integration of archival materials, and a selection of transcripts from UVB-76 – a mysterious shortwave radio signal believed to be of Russian military origin. 'The Buzzer' reflects on the fragile, evolving nature of identity in a landscape marked by surveillance, occupation, and resilience.

Miguel Proença (1963) is a Lisbon, Portugal born photographer. Currently based in Portugal (about Lisbon and Tavira) where he works and studies in photography and agricultural systems. The photography work is frequently initiated from a documentary/ reportage standpoint and undergoes an “estrangement” process. The result frequently touches on formalist and surrealist aesthetics, informed by disciplines other than photography. These include painting, sculpture, video, sound and music in a collaborative approach to the creative process.
