Nathalie Daost

Whether in New York, Tokyo or Berlin, Nathalie Daoust has always asserted a childlike contempt for reality. With a passion for intimacy, this Canadian photographer, born and raised in Montreal, has devoted all of her art to unveiling the secrets hidden beneath the apparent stability of life. Daoust first broke onto the scene in 1997 while photographing the themed rooms of the Carlton Arms Hotel in New York. This project, her first solo exhibition, was then published into a book, New York Hotel Story.

This is the image that struck me.




The use of a large sequence like this i think is really effective. I plan to display my portrait of leicester in a similar way

Demonstration for London No Borders

On 23rd January I shall be attending a demonstration in Piccadilly Circus where, while commuters, tourists and clubbers stare at the never-ending stream of commercials at ground level, they themselves are under constant observation by security and police in their cosy CCTV headquarters below ground.

I think it will be interesting to see the issue of surveillance from this angle. These people are ''protesting'' against the overuse of surveillance. I think i will get some interesting results.
