Dan Graham said that among the books which have influenced him are the writings of Marshal McLuhan and James J. Gibson's The Perception of the Visual World (Boston 1950) dealing with gestalt psychology and the orientation process, which led to his becoming fascinated with 360 degrees topographical orientation. His first photographs in 1965-6 were of such subjects as serial housing tract developments (doorways and steps) parallel to Minimal sculpture. Then followed a proposal in late 1966 for a Project for Carousel Slide Projector, based on a series of slides of systematically varied focus taken of the four sides of a glass box with a mirror base, which is in turn enclosed in further glass boxes.
