Robot City I

Through street reflections and light play the multilayered dialogue between fashion and the environment is captured. We step into a dreamlike world of metropolitan life and re-imagine elements of a personal story:
A fabulously styled stage with a single mannequin and an imaginative taxi prop with star-burst hubcap with enormous spokes and the trunks-shrouded Louis Vuitton building reflecting into the scene from across the avenue.
For me this window scene with the graceful, sublimely dressed "robot" mannequin strongly conjures up the sensitive and observant companion robot in Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel "Klara and the Sun". The touching story is narrated by the solar-powered Klara who after catching the eye of her teenage customer in a store window where she was showcased, was happily purchased.
