(…) At the center, man creating his personal universe positioning himself at its core.

Title: Impersonating Mao (Supported by the Canada Council for the Arts)

For her new project, ‘Impersonating Mao’, Daoust focuses on the interior world of an impersonator who assumes the appearance and bearing of Mao Zedong, founder of the People’s Republic of China. Daoust’s portraits record her subject’s desire to flee reality and take refuge in a dream world of half-truth and illusion.
