Remarks: The highlights are blinding and the obituary border knocks out both subject and title which reduces aesthetics of this shot to focus on the dated attire, an odd posture and some negligible signs of living for a good while in uncomfortable footwear.
Yet, this is an amazingly interesting image. It's interesting because it doesn't seem to fit at all into any of the several genres one would relate to it, unless, of course, one breaks out in laughter (as I did), which would make it a parody - of what, well, I could think of all those neat genres, I could think of much we have seen between, say, after 1950 and the fluorescent age in the windows or on the floors of the nation. And the weary mannequin posture is quite an accurate resurrection of the languid sadness that cannot be spent as quickly as a paycheck's pittance. |
