Victor Burgin
author · photographer
Victor Burgin is a British conceptual artist and photographer who gained prominence in the late 1960s. Known for his radical interventions into mainstream media through the interplay of text and image, his work explores politics, philosophy, psychoanalysis, and the materiality of photography. He studied at the Royal College of Art in London (1965) and received an MFA from Yale University in 1967. His practice evolved from political photography to photo-text works and later incorporated digital video and 3D modeling. Burgin currently lives and works in Paris, France.[1,2]
