Maybe the one of Maggie at the beach? As I mention this one in the blog?
Best regards,

Today I went to see this exhibition at the Goethe Institute of Stockholm, and I read the interview – or rather part of this – from the book.
It seems as such an interesting idea, to let the mask of his wife´s ownings, that she got from her parents collections of mask, this mask from the 1930-1940´s and let it haev its own life in our time.
He is makin an avatar of this I think. This is what I do with my avatars in SecondLife. Liza loves the 1920`s and she hates all of this new era´s stuff, but she tries to fit in. Just like “Maggie”, as the photographer names the character he is making of the mask to let it become alive again in our time.
I specifically loves the scene, the photography, of Maggie at the beach. She wants to be there and swim like the other guests on the beach – but she doesn´t want to be undressed or dressed in bikini. She makes her own way a bathing suit – a swimming suit- of her nightgown or a short dress. So this way she is on the beach as she used to be in the 1930 or 1040´s maybe. But she at least tries her outmost to fit in, and this she also does.
When you are meeting an enviroment that isn´t yours, but still is supposed to be, you try to make the best of this situation. I think”Maggie” is excellent in adjusting^^^
AM so gonna buy this book^^
Best regards,
