The
lightness and the closeness mixed to a strong dose of non-sense
revealed in the instigating photographic work Hotel
Story, by Nathalie Daoust, take us to scenes or instants
occurred in some theatre environment. But not to stage scenes.
They take us to one of those relaxing moments between the
acts, at the backstage. The photographs of Nathalie manifest
more the aspect of feeling, than that of being. Or either,
in some images it portraits the state of spirit, the model`s
mood, instead of what it is or represents; in other images
she only gives us a glimpse at a quiet atmosphere of an
empty room, emphasizing its sentimental aspects. Indeed,
her photographs resemble pictures of the soul, as though
they were images of a temporary thought, or of a desire,
or sadness, a joy, at last, the plasticity of a close, sentimental
moment. The
canadian Nathalie Daoust uses experimental photograph
techniques to develop her works: photography in 3D, Lenticular
Process and various other types of manipulations, carried
through by herself, in photographic laboratory.
Besides presenting her work, Nathalie Daoust was also
invited by the Photography Center of UFRGS to give a workshop
in Brazil, on the techniques she uses. The photographic
exhibition and workshop will occur in the year that comes
(2006).
