EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph captured by Chris Ware in August 1961, we are transported to a workshop where the enigmatic process of mannequin manufacturing takes place. The image showcases a landscape format, with rows of almost completed female mannequins awaiting their final touches. The absence of arms on these figures adds an eerie yet captivating element to the scene, evoking curiosity and fascination. Each mannequin stands tall and poised, seemingly frozen in time as they patiently await their transformation into lifelike representations of the human form. Ware's composition draws attention to the meticulous craftsmanship involved in creating these bizarre yet essential objects for retail displays across Europe. The monochromatic palette emphasizes the starkness of the workshop environment while also highlighting intricate details such as facial features and body proportions. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into a lesser-known corner of manufacturing history, showcasing both artistry and technical precision required in producing mannequins that blur the line between reality and illusion. It serves as a testament to Ware's ability to capture moments that invite viewers to ponder upon our relationship with consumer culture and its impact on our perception of beauty. With his keen eye for detail, Chris Ware invites us into this mysterious world behind closed doors – one where faceless figures come alive through skillful hands before taking center stage in shop windows worldwide.
