Dan Biferie: The Art of Learning

Through its tonal shapes, the photographs of Dan Biferie represent objects and qualities which are perceived and experienced. Beyond that, they are an expression of dynamic process. More than a representation of things which can be directly sensed and known, they are symbols which have the power to evoke a sense of the invisible and unknowable, of the forces and causes of which the objects and qualities are a manifestation. Not all photographs operate on this level, but the best do. The more strongly the forces which underlie and affect life are felt an evoked, the deeper and more sensitive knowledge and understanding of new dimensions on reality become.
