Nausicaa is best known as the author of the project “Ordination — I think Jesus was a feminist” (2012-2018) who explores the lives of a hundred Catholic women priests who challenged the Vatican. For the last five years, she’s been working with an 8x10 large format camera printing in her darkroom and learning how to make daguerreotypes. She aims to master tradition and move it into conceptual contemporary territories for documentary work. She’s started in 2020 a long term project about Death Education.
