Frozen in Time
Nathlie Daoust

15 October – 14 November 2009
Opening Celebration: Saturday 17 October, 3PM

Frozen in Time is a series of photographic prints which explore moments where reality and the dream-like clash. Each scene is first captured in black and white with a pinhole camera, and then hand coloured by Daoust, blending memory and introspection to create scenes of mystery and illusion.

Nathalie Daoust is a Canadian artist currently based in Montreal. Her practice is concerned with unveiling secrets which lie below the apparent stability of life.  Daoust has recently shown work at Punctum Gallery, Tokyo, Senac Gallery, Sao Paulo, Licht Feld Modern and Contemporary Art Basel, and Contemporary Istanbul Art Fair, Istanbul. She is in Australia to participate in the Ballarat International Foto Biennale.

Frozen in Time is the outcome of a residency at the Christoph Merian Foundation in Switzerland earlier this year.
