Dan Graham

Dan Graham is an American philosopher and conceptual artist known for his interdisciplinary approach, combining architecture, conceptual art, and performance. His artistic style is experimental, often using video and mirrors to explore perception and consciousness. His famous works include 'Homes for America,' 'Performer/Audience/Mirror,' and 'Rock My Religion.' Key themes in his work are identity, public vs. private spaces, and mass media, influenced by postmodernism, psychoanalysis, and Western philosophy. A notable scene is 'Performer/Audience/Mirror,' set in a minimal room with a large mirror, where he creates a feedback loop between performer and observer, blurring the lines of self-perception and audience perception. Dan Graham is unpredictable, empathetic, and self-deprecating. Born in New York, he embraces urban culture and is a prominent figure in the contemporary art scene. He enjoys spending time in silence retreats to reflect on his work and has a collection of vintage cameras he occasionally uses in his performances.
