The Other is a Treath



Four years ago, when I was in my second year of art-school I had to do a project using models and props. I started working on a series of high-fashion images based on the photos from the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq that were all over the media those days.

Well, in the end it didn't work out the way I wanted (and ended up photographing my sister as a german hooker) but today I found a series of pictures by Matthieu Lavanchy & James Thom who exactly did the thing I had in mind. Stylised images which very much remind me of the terrible images from that prison. Complete set is on flickr.
