BROKEN MUSES - PHILADELPHIA 2000

This is the original “broken muses” picure, the one that gave the series that I have been building up since its name. I took it in Little Italy in Philadelphia in the US. The mannequins were draped outside of a shop selling scarfs, caps and bonnets.

BROKEN MUSE MAURITIUS 2007

After seven years of taking pictures of broken muses, I discovered this mannequin on a recent trip to Mauritius. She reminded me a lot of the original broken muses picture that I have taken in Philadelphia. Smashed and stuck together with a piece of tape she is still looking into a bright future…

BROKEN NOSE - OOSTENDE/BELGIUM 2006

A day on the Belgian coast was about to end when I discovered this mannequin in a quite unspectacular shop selling clothes for elderly women. It was a windy summer day, 9 p.m., the sun was about to disappear and this broken muse was looking at me with her adorable broken nose.

FOUNTAINDROPS - SICILY 2003

Sicily on a hot summer day. What could you wish more for than some water drops dripping down on you?

FUR HAT - BRUSSELS 2006

I found this muse in the window of a second hand shop in Brussels. She is bruised, scratched but nevertheless she displays her fur hat and her fur coat in the most elegant way.

SILVER - VENICE 2002

This picture was taken in Venice after strolling along on a wet Saturday during the Venetian carnival. It was late in the afternoon and misty and at the same time the image of these masks engrossed in thought was mysterious.
