Des colonnes rongées pas le temps naissent les hommes de pierre
Des murs, des palissades, des rideaux de fer, de partout flottent les corps
Les marronniers majestueux, forts et puissants, abritent d'étranges créatures
Saviez-vous que les hommes-fleurs apparaissent dans les tulipes du Palais-Royal ?
La ville change de teinte, le soir tombe, les êtres de la nuit s'éveillent !
Pillars gnawed by time give birth to stonemen
Walls, fences, iron curtains, bodies float everywhere
Majestic chestnuts, strong and powerful, shelter strange creatures
Do you know that flowermen appear in the tulips of the Palais Royal ?
The city changes colour, night falls, night-beings awake !

La Tour

a-PARIS-tions I & II
Daniel started his artist work with basic tools - some lights, a black backdrop - creating a night
theatre where to explore the male body. In this fansasy game in which many models took part,
the camera lens played the part of the miror that would reflect the participants’ desires and
dreams.
With – a-PARIS-tions I – bodies were set free from the studio cocoon to be exposed and merged
with the physical mater of the real world.
In a-PARIS-tions II, his latest body of work, Daniel uses both real iconic urban settings, or reinvented ones to create a fanstamagorical and poetical representation of the male body and the
dreamed city reach. In this work his photo-graphic craft shows at its best.

Biography of Daniel Nassoy
Born in 1958 in Metz (eastern France) Daniel who originally trained as an IT consultant, opened his eyes through photography.
In 1992, he signed up to a 2 years training course at EFET
(Paris), a professional photography school. Then he already
knew that the rigid world of IT was not meant to be his future.
In 1997, he abandoned his IT career, and trained himself in
multimedia technologies, and in particular he went on perfecting his skills in digital image manipulations for photography.
Since 2001, Daniel has been working as a freelance photographer and graphic artist.
His first body of work used black ad white film photography techniques. He then went on utilising scanned images, and digital image manipulation programs (Photoshop).
In 2004 Daniel gradually switched from film photography to digital photography which he
has since then been focusing on. Digital photography gives him the means to create personal
images, full of sensations, and reflecting his thoughts and feelings as an artist. Daniel also
creates colourful images, but the colours need then to be dazzling and striking.

Daniel Nassoy exhibits regularly in Paris and other cities in France, he also showed his work in
Brighton (UK) in 2006, during the Brighton Festival.
“Robert Doisneau and Edouard Boubat were the photographers who gave me the desire to
embrace photography in the first place. I then discovered Tony Catani, Joel Peter Witkin and
Sarah Moon to name just a few. I thank all the photographers who showed me the way.’ ...»
