"Cabinet of Curiosities" Photography Exhibition

<p> <strong>"Cabinet of Curiosities"</strong> is a series of 10 photographs by Lebanese artist Carole Dana.</p> <p>  </p> <p> This financing campaign aims to raise sufficient funds to host a gallery exhibition in Galerie Joseph - MINIMES (16 rue des Minimes 75003) in PARIS, FRANCE on 17th March 2017.</p> <p>  </p> <p> The event, to which all are warmly invited, will be held from 6 pm to 10 pm.</p> <p> The photographer and crew will be present and glad to discuss the artworks.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong><u>What is "Cabinet of Curiosities"?</u></strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> A photography series that portrays human abuse in its most vivid form, laying bare extreme malnourishment and neglect in a stark and unapologetic fashion.</p> <p>  </p> <p> The male and female models underwent a total of four hours of special effects makeup and were set up in staged scenes conveying all too clearly the feeling of misery and vulnerability.</p> <p>  </p> <p> The cabinet present in certain images provides a metaphor for the feeling of entrapment felt by many victims of malnourishment and neglect.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Male_model_cabinet_mid_shot_540-1488374625" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/398062/Male_model_cabinet_mid_shot_540-1488374625.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> This series is only the tip of the iceberg among the artist's photographic journey encompassing similar themes stemming from her own life experiences. </p> <p>  </p> <p> <u><strong>Why Galerie Joseph?</strong></u></p> <p>  </p> <p> This beautiful Galerie is one of a number of small galleries located in this artistic corner of Paris. Its distinctive "stripped down" walls give it an austere feel ideal for the presentation of these photographs. </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Joesph-1488471677" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/398653/JOESPH-1488471677.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong><u>CREW MEMBERS</u></strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Carole Dana</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> Paris-based Lebanese artist, Carole Dana touches different corners of the creative world. She was born and raised in Lebanon. She lived in Egypt for three years before moving to Paris in 2014. She likes to combine different mediums. She works mostly with drawing, photography, film, digital art, and clothing design. She is doing two studies in two separate universities; Fine Arts in Paris College of Art and Film in SAE Institute.
