Nathalie Daoust’s photographs reflect a love for random places and a wild, inexhaustible sense of inquisitiveness. The Canadian Daoust has traveled extensively and explored places as diverse as Swiss naturists populating the Alps in Frozen in Time to female fragility in the Chinese Dolls series.
Daoust has created an oeuvre that is both diverse and intense. Seeking to translate her almost childlike curiosity, her perseverance and her highly individual interpretation of the world into fairytale like stories, Daoust single-handedly creates new myths about modern day society, as well as real-life stories of the underdogs.
ILEX is proud to host the worldwide premiere of Nathalie Daoust’s China Dolls.
