Daniel Whitaker

I develop visually and cognitively impacting educational installations meant to aid the viewer in understanding and diving deep into important and involving themes. These themes are carefully chosen according to relevance to current topics or possible futures. My work with young students is closely connected to their educational and curricular goals.

A comical and at the same time tragic look into how factual truth has been twisted, and changed in favor of more appealing facts. This exhibit was the first one I went in character! He was called Mendax Pfestis (Liar, Liar).
