Nathalie Daoust

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. Since then, Daoust has created several new conceptual projects that have taken her all over the world, from the love hotels of Tokyo, to a brothel in Brazil, to a darkroom in Sydney, to the dreamy landscape of the snow-capped Swiss Alps

Christina E. Dent

Christina E. Dent is not pictured, not because she is an eccentric recluse, but because she only just recently acquired a newfangled digital camera and has yet to figure out how to use it. When she’s not confused by modern technology, Tina enjoys reading 18th century British novels–for fun!–watching Hong Kong cinema, and an amusing life with three cats in a one-bedroom apartment.  The same cannot be said for her cats, who mostly enjoy eating, sleeping and destroying important documents.
