DANIEL GORDON

Facinating selfportraits, created by a large format camera and help from his assistant. Focusing the camera, positioning himself for his flight and coordination the position of the illusion, capturing the landscape and his personal vision to fly, even just for a second.

 

"Gordon’s ephemeral performances are captured with mythical imagination at a brief moment near the apex of his wingless flight. He is seen suspended in the air, in a prone position, arms and legs extended outward. He appears, sans cape, much like the fictional character Superman in flight, performing a similar super feat. We quickly learn that Gordon is actually more like Icarus, although he does not come in close proximity to the sun; he nevertheless quickly experiences earth’s strong gravitational pull and as abruptly plummets back to terra firma."        PowerHouse Books
