NADIA LEE COHEN for DANIEL SACHON BITCHES

Heavily inspired by cinema, Americana and Britain particularly in the 1960’s and 70’s, her photographs and films are character-driven visions of saturated, surreal dreamscapes.

Drawing upon the duality of the female form, Nadia locks our optics upon the twisted paradise that lurks within her mind. She explores the paradoxical standoff between strength and fragility within womankind.

Nadia Lee Cohen follows the tradition of Cindy Sherman, Gillian Wearing, and Frida Kahlo, conceptualists who saw the candor that a self portrait bluffs with as an invitation to become someone else entirely. She has gained notoriety through her quirky colourful online presence on social media.
