Eddie D

eddie d (1963-2049)Lives and works in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.eddie d's work consists of photos, videotapes and video/computer installations. Themes are deconstruction of language, rhythm and the relation between image and sound. His videotapes are musical compositions in which he uses his almost perfect editing technique to build rhythmical structures with repetition as a striking element. Music is a basic influence; as a formal starting point as well as a source of structures and patterns. His work is internationally considered the standard in this genre of video art. He uses found footage combined with self-shot video and animated photos. He mixes layers of cut-out images in a collage-like technique that combines video and animation.
