Playing music most of his teenager years, Danny first started to work with video and film at the age of 21. His main body of work are inspired by a life with disability, depression and mental breakdown. Danny s early work with films has been used as therapy, a way to work himself out of a low point in his life from his 20 s up thru his 30 s years of life, where he was suffering from severe depression, mental agony, isolation and loneliness Caused by his troubled childhood with two spinal surgery operations at the age of 9 and 14 which left Danny paralyzed and in a wheelchair. Plus having a psychopath father who made him emotional and mentally unstable. Those early works that can been seen in the video collection INNER PROJECTIONS FROM A BROKEN MAN is emotions and thoughts from a mental breakdown told thru film/ video.

2 Artist Statement TALES FROM THE DOWN BELOW OF SOCIETY As an ongoing problem in the industrialized world the human race gets more and more lonely and alienated, The world turns faster and faster and people are more busy then ever working, making career, making family, making money and having all the right material stuff and doing all social acceptable thing that is the norm of society! It is in this world where the sick and weak humans goes under the radar and lives outside society. They live on the edge of society in isolation, loneliness and alienation! The film and videos by Danny Germansen show the humans who are down and out by society without the possibility to save them self! It is the mental ill and physically challenge who is not able to follow the fast modern society! No one thinks about these people, they are on their own, sometime caught in a life full of pain. Some choose suicide as their last resource. It is with inspiration in his own life that Danny makes these videos/films that sometime can seem embarrassing and ruthless. But only are true emotions that all humans are cable of to feel if they where in the same situation.
