David Law at the Hotel Meridien Montparnasse, Restaurant Justine
« Mannequins... »
For many years David Law has kept a watchful eye on store window mannequins. He studies these solitary beauties as a reflection of contemporary life. Through his photos David Law seeks to unravel the mystery of these prototypical women's souls, as they provide him with a mirror of our existence. They cast out an image of our perseverance to engage in an ideology of perfection.
For Law, mannequins symbolize illusion, the dream of luxury and the unattainability of a flawless world. As he captures his images, he engages the natural echo of light rebounding from the store windows, providing a projection of city images, and our reality, superimposed upon the ideal.

C'est interéssant, un idée unique... I was at the Méridien last year and in Paris last week and wish I'd been aware of this work before now.
Unfortunate that we have here a link to his music but not to his photography!
