Shadowed: Victor Burgin by Victor Burgin

by Anthony Vidler

Victor Burgin has made contributions as an artist and cultural theorist for more than three decades. His writings on general issues such as photographic, psychoanalytic and cultural theory are noted for their lucidity, compactness and reason. In contrast, the photographs and videos that Burgin creates as an image-maker are paradoxical and constitute an inquiry into the structure of meaning in contemporary society.
