4. Frederique Daubal






This unsettling art project by French artist and Hint friend Frederique Daubal. For her Hide and Seek photographic series, Frederique cut out pages from fashion magazines, sliced them into fringe and made them into masks resembling Muslim niqābs. It's a statement on identity, transformation and what it means to be Frenchtoday. She's looking for a gallery space to exhibit the photographs, so if you know of one, here's your chance to support the arts! by Hintmag

Coming from a graphic design background, she also experiments with textile as a 3 dimensional medium, or creates clothes under her name, without following any trends but using lots of second hand pieces since the beginning in 2001. She works as a freelance creative for clients worlwide, Nike, Paul Smith, Nokia, Publicis, Bumble&Bumble... and sell punctually her own products in place as Beams, Colette... or during some ephemeral events.
