Daniela Franco (whose artistic name is stylized in lower caps: daniela franco) is a French-Mexican
Projects
franco's first projects were done in video, using images and sounds from a poetical construction stand, for their form, euphony and rhythm. In On n’attend que toi [6] (2003), she illustrated Harry Mathews's poem Jack's Reminders to the King of Karactika with a series of travel images and Ian Monk's voice in off.[7] daniela franco's work is often based on sets of self-imposed constraints much like the French literary group Oulipo whose members have often collaborated in franco's projects.
Her latest work has been done in the form of interdisciplinary and collaborative projects of fiction and archiving that also question the role of authorship. In 2010 she created face B,[8][9][10] an on-line archive for the contemporary art museum La Maison Rouge in Paris. Face B [11] archives LP covers selected by music critic Alex Ross, magazines like The Wire,[12] Vice, Les Inrockuptibles, and McSweeney's, fashion designer agnès b., UbuWeb, the music label Alga Marghen, Oren Ambarchi, Clive Graham, the Oulipo, Philip Andelman for Colette, etc.[13][14][15]
