Ulaanbaatar
‘China Dolls’ exhibition to open next week
Art & Culture
Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ The ‘China Dolls’ solo exhibition by Canadian artist and photographer Nathalie Daoust will open at the Art Space 976 on June 12.
The photographic installation comprises twenty-eight portraits of black-and-white and hand colored prints. In this collection, Daoust pays homage to the women that have long remained in the shadows. Fleeting and delicate, the body of work serves as a perspective on the young women of China, struggling to find their identity in a rapidly changing country. From one portrait to the next, we find dreamy, impressionistic, subtle and even melancholic images that serve to illustrate, from both an historical and contemporary perspective, the women who are now uprooting themselves from former constraints.
A graduate of the Cégep du Vieux in Montreal, Canadian photographer Nathalie Daoust is the recipient of numerous awards and her work has been extensively showcased and published worldwide.
