Hmm, I see what you mean. Now I'm imagining a series of D&G ads involving wild animals attacking blank-faced models clutching spendy handbags. "Revenge of the Alligator-Skin Clutch?"

I'm always a little confused about photographs of dioramas. I mean, on the one hand, I'm often drawn to them. On the other, they are photos of someone elses artwork.

HH, I view them much as I view Rosamund Purcell's photos of natural history collections - an artistic interpretation of a display intended to be primarily scientific/educational. It's mostly a recontexting I think, and if thought provoking can be very successful as such.
