{"product_id":"hello-my-name-is-nadia-lee-cohen","title":"HELLO MY NAME IS - Nadia Lee Cohen","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"1056\"\u003eThis photobook by Nadia Lee Cohen, published in 2021 by IDEA, is part of the Darwin archive because it treats selfhood as both archive and invention. In \u003cem data-start=\"176\" data-end=\"194\"\u003eHELLO MY NAME IS\u003c\/em\u003e, Cohen uses thirty-three real name badges sourced from flea markets to construct an ensemble of fictional personas — each one photographed as a fully embodied character, then echoed through a still-life and a short biographical text. The result is a surreal procession of American archetypes and misfits: surreal, tragicomic, often grotesque. Housewives, weirdos, washed-up stars, and mallrats populate the pages, each sculpted in obsessive detail through prosthetics, styling and Cohen’s own presence. Visually hyperreal and conceptually controlled, the book reworks the tropes of commercial fashion, cinematic typecasting, and suburban melancholy into something stranger and more intimate. A study in artificiality and the politics of display, it belongs here for the way it stretches photography into theatrical space — and persona into prop, text, and myth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1058\" data-end=\"1424\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1058\" data-end=\"1077\"\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1077\" data-end=\"1080\"\u003eTitle: \u003cem data-start=\"1087\" data-end=\"1105\"\u003eHELLO MY NAME IS\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1105\" data-end=\"1108\"\u003eArtist \/ Author: Nadia Lee Cohen\u003cbr data-start=\"1140\" data-end=\"1143\"\u003eDate: 2021\u003cbr data-start=\"1153\" data-end=\"1156\"\u003eTechnique \/ Printing Method: Offset printed photobook\u003cbr data-start=\"1209\" data-end=\"1212\"\u003eMedium \/ Materials: Clothbound hardcover with debossed label motif\u003cbr data-start=\"1316\" data-end=\"1319\"\u003eDimensions (cm): 30 × 23.5\u003cbr data-start=\"1345\" data-end=\"1348\"\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr data-start=\"1365\" data-end=\"1368\"\u003ePages: 160\u003cbr data-start=\"1378\" data-end=\"1381\"\u003ePublisher \/ Editor: IDEA\u003cbr data-start=\"1405\" data-end=\"1408\"\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DaRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52479532663122,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7058\/0818\/files\/TODWEBB_b1ffa159-db6a-47ca-922a-6c9ca6a97440.jpg?v=1768418769","url":"https:\/\/thedarwin.es\/products\/hello-my-name-is-nadia-lee-cohen","provider":"DaRWIN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
