This is absolutely the best and most creative use of fashion and art to make a social statement I have seen of late. Marianne Maric, a french super talented recent art school graduate, is considering working as a photographer.. or stylist.. or designer… Well, she hasn’t made up her mind just yet, but movie+design+body+architecture+fashion and the intricate relationship between them is one of her aims of life. I am just blown away by her Lamp Girls project that started as photographs and evolved into live art featured in the Paris “Under my skin” show.  These “lamp-girls” were first conceived as an illustration of the woman as a thing conveyed by the “entertainment world,” but gradually ascending to a state of consciousness. These photographs were part of a broader vision: once the costume was finished, the “living” model put it on and took place on a white rotating base into a dark room. The public had the choice to turn on or off the lamp, the dress, the girl, the room. I wanted to “immortalize” this moment when a woman become a simple household appliance. That is how these photographs were born.
