Themes & Works
Key themes examined in Bryant Dameron's artwork are the nature of experience, the nature of place, and the role of simulation in everyday life. He frequently employs a video monitor as a symbol for simulation. In his Evidence video series a television monitor is placed in unusual night-time landscapes including an empty parking lot, and a dark alley. His most recent works examine the structure and behavior of the video image, what Dameron has termed as flickering ghost simulacra.
