Dani Gherca belongs to the emerging generation of Romanian visual artists who share an interest in linking documentary photography with conceptual approaches.

 

Starting with his early practice, he developed an interest in the idea of agglomeration trying to understand how humans make sense of their surroundings. The human condition between living and being is at its core practice trying to interrogate the dialogue between human density and physical spaces.

 

Recently he started to be interested in mixing photography and sound with the new immersive experience of Virtual Reality. His current research is focused on questioning the protest theme with a specific view on the physical presence in opposition to virtual presence.
