American artist Robert Whitman was born in 1935 and has worked with new technologies since the beginning of the 1960s. During his long career, he has produced sound installations and artworks that make reference to the world of cinema and theatre. His works engage viewers in a very direct way: often we are invited to enter a closed, claustrophobic space, or we are put in front of strong images of cinematographic dimensions, which provoke unexpected emotional responses.
