Thomas Dozol

Thomas Dozol, the French photographer who is based in New York and bites both his finger and toenails (that’s beside the point) spent all last summer in Europe attempting to find a new utopia. Good idea. He visited the Wannsee in Berlin, and the Cité Radieuse in Marseilles, intrigued by the idea modernist architecture could help bring about a ‘new way of living’.

His latest photo show All Together Now, which opened last night at New York’s NP Contemporary Art Center (formerly the Envoy Gallery), draws upon Dozol’s frustration over the way globalization has, in his words, ‘leveled the playing field’. The show may not be as physically arousing as some of Dozol’s prior work, it’s totally worth seeing.
