Natacha Merritt

Buying Natacha Merritt’s book, ‘Digital Diaries’ over the counter conjured up the same feelings of excitement and embarrassment I felt when buying my first issue of Penthouse Magazine as a pimply faced under-aged teen. It’s intense, it’s selfploitation to the max, in your face, porn, art, photography all crammed into a little silver diary. It was the hot topic of discussion in my lounge room for years. I got so sick to death of debating (sometimes until I was blue in the face) about whether her work is porn or art that I took Natacha’s book off my coffee table and stored it on the shelf. Phew. I suggest you own it. One for the archive for sure. It’s a shame her site’s aren’t updated as often as they once were, but you can find Natacha online at Digital Diaries and also Digital Girly.
