Natalie Daoust
Natalie Daoust has lived on four continents since she left her native Quebec; her inspiration comes from culture shock. “I want to show things that people can’t see.” Femininity and sexuality are recurring themes in her photographs.
Five nomadic artists set out to live life as an art form. Filmed in eleven countries, this road-documentary travels from a Spanish cemetery to a wintry Quebec woodland and a bordello in Rio, exploring the relationship between creativity and travel as its protagonists cross borders of every kind.

Wormser’s captivating film both blurs the distinction between art and life and examines the interplay of escape and attachment.
A testament to our insatiable human desire to chase beauty around every corner.
Using the camera like a paintbrush caressing the canvas of life, Tamás Wormser’s film celebrates man’s ability to be creative and keep searching for beauty.
Fascinating and profound, it may be the best depiction of the relationship between artists and their creation that I have ever seen.
The protagonists
Christina Hagmann
Christina Hagmann is a Swiss-Bulgarian artist who has sailed the seven seas. “Home is the body. It’s the only luxury we have.” Her “body-extension art” – balloon-like suits and capsules – has travelled in major exhibitions.
Lundo Chango
Lundo Chango, front man of La Chango Family, is a French-born troubadour who travels with his singer wife and two children. “Family became a wandering refuge.” With his songs, Lundo has found a key to open hearts on his path.
Jimmy Fachetty
Wandering is how Jimmy Fachetty survived the brutality of his childhood. Jeweller, writer, sculptor, actor, stuntman and more, this Quechua man has been on his own since the age of four. “I would not say I am a traveller, but an escaper, a searcher.”
László Kuli
László Kuli, a Hungarian-born painter, is a travelling hermit. “When you enter the creative mind, it doesn’t have borders.” In the winter mountains of Quebec he lives in a small tent made from garbage bags.
