Update: [0 new pictures... :(] fixed the hotlinks
In my pursuit of emptiness, many subjects and scenarios become recurrent: dark alleys, empty streets, stores outside business hours, et cetera. But my favorite, the thing I love most to photograph out of those, are mannequins.
There's just something about their perfection of model, the unnaturality of said perfection, in a way so human but absolutely lacking in humanity by and in itself. Every mannequin is hollow in ways more than one, and that's the whole of mathematical beauty—in which beauty exists for a fit purpose.
Reminds me of Ito's "Tomie": the undeniable attraction that leads one to ruination. And it is also the beauty of flowers or fruit, so their sweet smell as of venus flytraps'. Natural beauty! Beauty in nature not in the whole but as specific cases of. In the example of mannequins, man-made "natural beauty".
Appearance truly is a dangerous thing. Superficial attraction is a powerful tool. Knowing so, I lift up my glass to the empty people, and present to you exactly what I mean.
Enjoy!
[A lot of these were moved here from the Emptiness album.]
