Bob Linder: da face

Bob Linder, a young San Francisco-based artist, pushes the limits of digital video into the realms of distortion, ambiguity, and abstraction. Variations on performance are played out as he throws, drags, and shakes the camera, stands still before it, or implies his own presence through the unnatural movement of an object. This new work involves a grotesquely compelling examination of self-portraiture through the slow, distorted motion of his face in a mirror.

Linder received his BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1998 and is currently working towards his MFA at Stanford University.
