Sherman Questions III

1. Cindy Sherman Untitled #225, 1990
2. Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2007

One example of incorporating fake body parts and creating a moment of exhibitionist shock. In this regard, Sherman does not only quote the iconic image of Virgin with Child, she also appears close to Jean Paul Gaultier and his skin flashing runway moments. Not rarely quoting symbols of religion and holiness. By offering her right breast and wearing the black lace of a sinful widow, Sherman is bearing the cross.

Consequences

1. Paul McCarthy Dick and Vagina, 1998
2. Akira Akira Spillberg, 2006

The act of relief. Time for relief. In preliminary review Fashion Week gave us vegetable prints and a lot of plastic, no orgasms. Once again, our hopes lie upon Parisian shoulders.
