See No Evil
See No Evil
Reflected in the impossibly slim forms of the near naked mannequins are two less narrow women. The women cover their faces, determined to see no evil; avoiding the accusation offered by the dummies and the giant photograph of an anorexic girl that shares their window.
Would the real women cut of their heads and arms to look like the mannequins? No, but they might consider it. Rubens and Renoir celebrated a different standard in their paintings; who offers such alternative valuations today?
Store windows have been a long running theme in my photography; you can see more in the Store Life Revisited selection of my main Web site.
