Heavy Metal


Try and guess what this is a picture of. Right. Those are metal dresses that the mannequins are wearing! It was part of an exhibit about the history of fashion, at the museum I went to last week. They never sold these dresses - they were conceptual constructions done by two brothers whose work normally was making avant-garde musical instruments. These were made specifically for a film. It is pretty striking to see these in person - and realize how a metal dress makes no sense at all!

Interesting composition. I like how the people weave in and out of the mannequins with the film in the middle. The dreamy colors are lovely. A fascinating shot of a scene that could have been static and ordinary. Lovely photo. Di
