These are some video images of women through the strange telescope of fashion and through Guy Bourdin's lens. Fascinating.
"Bourdin was not alone in demystifying the object, but he was the most radical in his approach. The photographs of Guy Bourdin and contemporaries such as Helmut Newton, proved that advertising need not be an elaboration of a safe, prescribed fantasy. Bourdin emphasised fetishism, power relationships, and the potential for sexual violence, as well as the artificiality of the image, its gloss rather than its reality."
