Freaky or Fabulous? Carmen Kass, the Alien

March 24, 2008

Dutch photographers Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin have shot many a fashion editorial but this one for V Magazine may be the creepiest yet. It's almost painful to look at model Carmen Kass' protruding bones and alien-like neck. Her face is pretty, but it looks as though her head is going to snap off at any moment. Freaky! What do you think?

I vote it fabulous because I find the subject of Ines & Vinhood quite fascinating. I wish that the blog owner would inform the voers of what is shown as I think it is important to understand. So If you understand the following (which means that yes it is photo shopped) you probably will vote fabulous too: INEZ VAN LAMSWEERDE, VINOODH MATADIN AND EUGENE VAN LAMSWEERDE March 14 – May 3, 2008 Opening: March 13, 2008, 7-9 pm The show is the third installment of an ongoing series entitled The Now People which began in 2003 at the Matthew Marks Gallery in New York. Part Three: The Women includes some of the sculptural works from Life on Earth as well as an installation entitled The Seance, which is a collection of silk screened photographs pierced by metal as to actualize thoughts, energies, and emotions into a physical tangibility. Three large scale new photo works entitled Woman 1, 2 and 3 have been made specifically for this show that investigate the erotic portrait by means of sculpting Carmen Kass' face into a phallic shaped object. This show contains only images of women inspired by new and old female archetypes: the feminist, the object, the demon, the earth mother, the trickster, the shaman and the innocent.
