Daniel Gordon is an american artist best known for producing large color photographs that fall somewhere between a collage and set-up photography. Gordon was born 1980 in Boston, Massachusetts and his art took off while as an undergraduate, with his “Flying Pictures”. These pictures were a series of low-fi simulations of human flight. An assistant photographed Gordon as he catapulted himself into the air, capturing the magical instant before gravity had its way. The resulting images blur the lines between reality and fiction, simultaneously documenting his activity and portraying an impossible event.

His work Involves creating three-dimensional sculptures made from cut paper and printed images taken from magazines and the internet that he then photographs. Unlike the perfection of images manipulated with Adobe Photoshop, these paper creations are deliberately imperfect and unpolished. Daniel Gordon uses photography to create images that follow along with the lines of obsession with the human body and the discomforts of having one.
