Dan Graham

In the filmed performance Performer/Audience/Mirror, Dan Graham was interested in examining the relationship between the performing artist and the audience. By means of a large-scale mirror in which the audience was reflected, Graham captured both himself and the audience facing him; at first he stands facing to the audience, and later turns to face their reflection in the mirror. In this way, Graham enables the viewers to understand the subjective viewpoint of the performer, which is compared with their own viewpoint in real time.
