wiki artysty
(Urodzony w 1965 roku w Zurychu. Mieszka i pracuje w Nowym Jorku). Realizuje filmy wideo, instalacje, fotografie. Zajmuje się obrazami katastrof czy aktów przemocy w mass mediach i filmach katastroficznych. Jego prace często mają charakter rekonstrukcji popartych wizjami lokalnymi. Draeger pokazuje, że przemoc jest źródłem fascynacji i rodzajem rozrywki, tak naprawdę należąc do głównego nurtu naszej kultury. Zadaje pytania o moralność mediów. Instalacja "Black September" z 2002 roku odnosi się do brutalnego morderstwa izraelskiej drużyny olimpijskiej dokonanego w 1972 roku w Monachium przez palestyńskich terrorystów. Stanowi połączenie rekonstrukcji całego zdarzenia z fragmentami autentycznych relacji telewizyjnych.
