Bill DanielTexas-reared, San Francisco exile, and confirmed tramp, Bill Daniel continues to experiment with survivalism and bricolage in his efforts to record and report on the various social margins he often finds himself in. Working without a formal art or film school education, he endeavors to make work that connects with an outsider audience. His work began in 1980 with a photo documentation of the blossoming punk rock scene in Austin, Texas. His subcultural documentary subjects have included bicycle messengers, radical environmentalists, and hobo graffiti artists. Daniel’s study and love for documentary photography and filmmaking has given him the charge to create enduring work that communicates across generations and socioeconomic boundaries. Drawing from his backgrounds in studio photography, experimental media and the construction trades, Daniel builds site-specific viewing environments as a method for deploying non-linear documentary material within an allegorical, interactive setting. filmography 2005 Who is Bozo Texino?
