Nina Katchadourian is an American photographer who uses a mixture of photography, video, sculpture and sound in her works. Her work is different from most photography that I have seen and from her works I come to realise that she has a very different way of looking at things than me and most other people. The interesting subject matter is what draws people into her work, something different than the normal.
One of her pieces of work that interested me, which although not primarily photography based, Natural Car Alarms interested me right from the beginning. The concept and idea behind the piece of work was the result of a misunderstanding when she was walking through the jungles of Trinidad and heard what she thought was a car alarm but what turned out to be a birds call. Below is an hour long video of a lecture that she gave to a university class in America, it shows her workings and ideas behind a hand full of her works. It was an interesting watch and she is a very inspirational photographer.
