Helen Friel

Her work was shown to us the other week by Andrew, the illustration tutor, and guess what? Tomorrow she is coming to give a lecture at CSM! And she graduated from here in 2009. Sweet, huh? I reckon she's so excited and feels kinda awkward, cause I would if had to do that.
So, she calls herself 'Paper ingineer' and I even know why. He work is 99 per cent paper, and, I need to say, she's pretty good at it. I just wonder how she cuts all the shapes so perfectly. mmm...laser?

There's that woman, Lilly McElroy, who did a series of photographs, called 'Locations', where she documented people's reaction to her 'unexpected behaivor'. Outcome: the knowledge of passivity of the society plus untold restrictions of public behaivor.

There's an interesting article related to the project on her website (unfortunately I can't give a link now as the mouse I am using is hardly working).

This woman is also the one who did the series called 'I Throw Myself at Men', where she photographed herself jumping at different men in pubs and bars. I think it's intrigue as the moment is very unusual and personal in a way.

There is also another woman who did a confrontational shoot. Her name is Mariko Sakaguchi, born Tokyo, but studied Korea. Her series is called 'One Hundred Views of Bathing' nd what she did was photographing herself taking the traditional Japanese bath in, again, public places.
