Monica Stevenson & the Hermes Scarf
Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4
The play by Peter Shaffer, where a psychiatrist attempts to treat a young man who has a pathological sexual obsession with horses, is reminiscent of the work of US photographer Monica Stevenson she uses luxury goods such as Tiffany bracelets and Hermes Scarves on and next to equines as the focus for some of her major work.
This piece of a horse wearing a luxury scarf ‘Hermes Scarf Horse’ won Stevenson a place in the ‘Advertising photographers of America’. It spurns you to question your morality, is the horse alive? What is that around the horses nose? also touching on animals rights in fashion. It grabs you and makes you look at the scarf, it captures your interest in a way that a model on a catwalk would not.
A lot of Monica’s personal work extends to equine photography and so it was a natural progression for her to mix her work in advertising for luxury brands such as Tiffany and Co, Cartier, Hermes and Gucci with her love for horses.
Her photographs are sexier than most Vogue photography and they have an edge? It is almost like Stevenson wants you to know it’s wrong and that you can’t turn away.
The work has almost a sadomasochistic edge to it, highlighted by the use of horse and human hair wound around Iron stirrups and leather straps, oddly enough a similar thing is depicted on this vintage Hermes scarf.
Sometimes Stevenson users beetles and bugs in her photographs, crawling over a high gloss lipstick or perfectly manicured nail. Stevenson is pushing the fashion item into your hands, getting you to turn it over and over.
What is so wonderful about Stevensons work is that it is so damn tangible. You can almost taste every piece, feel its substance and with that you are left wondering why you havent looked before.
