Daniel deRegt
Photography Exhibition

His art practice began in 1996 when he was working for a non-profit organization in Camden NJ.  The photographic medium became a means of documenting the deterioration of the inner city and the economic and systematic discrimination within one of the world’s richest economies.

The experience in Camden still influences his art practice today.  “From early on my work has looked at societal values, as expressed through symptoms and patterns of individuals.  More specifically, storage and values within our desire to store are important aspects of my work.  There are noticeable parallels between storage and the photograph.  The photograph documents – perhaps “stores” the valuable, memorable, or hidden.  By using the photographic medium, there then becomes an added layer to my work surrounding storage.”
