Donna Nield
Kiosk
April 28–May 27, 2000

Two-person exhibition with Shinobu Akimoto.

In Kiosks, Donna Nield presents us with slick digitally manipulated photographs of shopping mall cosmetics counters. The images were originally taken from a historical shopping mall then isolated, stripped of their logos and brand names and placed on a stark white background.

Stripped of any traces of recognition, the work emerges as a critique of the slick and impersonal world of consumer culture.

Her work frequently addresses issues surrounding commercial, retail presentation and how it commodifies the individual.
