                         UNTITLED




                                                   Dirk Westphal is a multimedia artist who lives in
                                                   New York City and works with photography, sculpture,
                                                   installation, music and performance art. His photo
                                                   series are united in their focus on artifice and mutation
                                                   as hallmarks of our culture. Westphal’s recent work
                                                   includes exhaustive visual studies of overbred
                                                   goldfish. In this rendering for the Brain Project,
                                                   thoughts and memories are not unlike fish that swim
                                                   with purpose and intent. Murky water changes
                                                   everything. So does dementia.
