In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Nana SRT (@nana.S.R.T)
Nana Sakura Rosalia Tinley Klimek, aka Nana SRT, is a visual artist working primarily in photography. She lives and works between London and Vienna.
Introduced by her father to the NikonFM as an early teen, Nana picked up photography and darkroom as a voluntary side subject in high school. She shot her first personal series depicting caged zoo animals’ eyes at around the age of 18.
Around that time she moved to England and quickly became involved in the London dance scene. Her photography remained a private pastime.
In 2009, NSRT shot her first dance series entitled Move!, which is included in her public portfolio today.
Finding herself amidst heaps of photographs, in 2019 NSRT decided to share some of these publicly, and took the leap to participate in art fairs, making her debut at The Other Art Fair w Saatchi Art in Brooklyn, New York.
Various art fairs have followed since, including Red Dot at Miami Art Week (2022 and 2023), Art Wynwood (Miami 2023), and Art Santa Fe (2023).
NSRT has exhibited at some group shows including: at Bergdorff Goodman (NYC), Orchard Galerie (NYC), and some independently run local art events in East London.
She launched her first book DAIDO LOVE at Offspring London and Peckham24, published by Photobook Café Editions, in May 2024.
Daido Love is stocked in London at The Photographers Gallery, and Photobook Café, and in Vienna at Westlicht.
NSRT continues to immerse herself in the world of dance and draws inspiration from it.
