PROJECTS
Explore Daniel's multi-media adventures in culture, people & place
My creative projects are a fusion of photography, poetry and storytelling, offering a layered exploration of culture, identity, and the spaces we inhabit. My work moves between mediums, capturing the interplay between memory and landscape, migration and belonging, stillness and movement.
At the core of these projects is a desire to connect and document, to give voice to the ever-evolving dialogue between self and place, past and present.
Spanish Language Poetry
My Spanish language poetry explores themes of diaspora, identity, and nostalgia, weaving together the emotional landscapes of migration and belonging.
My poems reflect the duality of living between two cultures, capturing the longing for one homeland while embracing another. I speak the Latin American immigrant experience, who navigate the tension between past and present, distance and connection. Through my poetry, I attempt to transform personal and collective memory into a powerful reflection on my cultural roots and self-discovery.
Photography
My photography is a study in chiaroscuro and grisaille, where light and shadow shape vast, poetic landscapes. The black and white compositions evoke a sense of timelessness, using deep contrasts to highlight the textures of land, sky, and water. I am influenced by classical painting techniques, and the great landscape photographers. I try to use the dynamic interplay of darkness and illumination, to reveal the starkness and softness of nature. Through this approach, my work transforms landscapes into meditative spaces—echoes of memory and place, where absence and presence exist in delicate balance.

Artist Interviews
A Vos Limpia - Su Gente is my ongoing multimedia project, documenting the participants of this writer's colective and its voices, mainly Latin American artists living in Australia, through in-depth interviews. Blending photographic portraits, transcription, audio, and video recordings, this series captures the creative journeys of poets, musicians, and visual artists, exploring themes of migration, cultural identity, and artistic expression. Each conversation is a window into the ways Latin American creatives navigate their dual heritage, craft, and connection to place. By preserving these stories in multiple formats, A Vos Limpia - Su Gente serves as both an archive and a dialogue—an evolving testament to the power of art in shaping identity across borders.
About
I am part of the Latin American community in Melbourne, Victoria. Like many immigrants, I oscillate between one place and the other; one foot in Australia, the other in Argentina, but my soul is everywhere. I use photography and poetry as a way of expressing my experience of the world and its connection to the landscape.
What other people say:
In an interview for SBS Español with Esther Lozano, she writes
(translated from Spanish):
With his work, Daniel speaks to the Latin American immigrant in his unresolved duality of coming and going between the place where he was born and this land, like a pendulum that swings between two countries. When asked if nostalgia is a feeling that reflects loss or gain, Sacchero assures that "that fact of wanting the place where we were born or live, is something positive because having these two places that pull our soul makes us grow, learn and experience things that others cannot.
