Dani Ghercã

Dani Gherca (b. 1988) Romanian artist who lives and works in Brussels, Belgium. He uses photography to examine the notion of urbanity, scale, and disconnection. In his photographic quest, he aims to transmit a feeling of confusion, awe, and claustrophobia onto the viewer. His large-scale photographs reflect on the current transition to a new phase of human consciousness that we don’t yet fully understand. In Gherca's cityscapes, in a time when life is changing faster than we can comprehend due to technological disruptions, the city is no longer represented by architecture or people but is reduced to an endless flow of data. By underexposing his pictures and twisting the image’s perspective, he creates confusion, evoking a sense of urban and social alienation many of us experience today in a world that is changing at a super-fast pace. Gherca is a Laureate of the Higher Institute for Fine Arts in Ghent (HISK) in 2021 and received his MFA from UNARTE (Bucharest, RO) in 2015.
