headless mannequins
Sunday, July 5th, 2009
the axelmannstein hotel, where i found this abandoned showroom, had it’s high times in the 20th of last century. at that time, everybody who was rich and/or famous spent his/her time in this summer health resort, famous for the healing effects of the brine aerosols on the respiratory system. the tailors had their summer business here in bad reichenhall, and in the winter time they went to Merano in south tyrol.
those mannequins made the impression as if the humming life of the catwalk had suddenly stopped like in sleeping beauty’s castle, and time had its effect only in the form of bleaching of the colors and a bit of dust. a really strange scenery.
