The private diary of Natacha Merrit
Anyone who has seen her Digital Diaries has intimate knowledge of Natacha Merritt. And of her friends, male and female, and her acquaintances as well. But Merritt’s favourite motif is herself: she poses almost every minute of the day for her camera, taking photographs of herself in bed, in the shower, having sex with her friend, masturbating with and without accessories, from every imaginable angle and with the camera usually at arm’s length.
Merritt is 30 years old and she started with 20. Eric Kroll came across Natacha Merritt by chance in the Internet, where she had put several of her photographs masturbating herself.
She says that her artistic and sexual needs are joined. Taschen published her photographies in Digital Diaries where Natacha appears masturbating. She has also a web page where you can spy on her life.
Natacha Merrit is, like yourself Erika, like a breath of fresh air. Her Digital Diaries is one of my favorite art books.
Btw i have just recieved my “Five Hot Stories for Her” DVD and i’m really looking forward to it. I’m thinking about writing about your projects in my gender studies master thesis (if i get accepted that is).
