07/02/08 - the violinist/rita ackermann

collages by rita ackerman
photographs by mario sorrenti


from the spring/summer issue (9) of Purple Fashion Magazine

The Violinist

"First, photographer Mario Sorrenti worked with stylist Camilla Nickerson, developing a fashion story about the futuristic decomposition of bodies in motion. Then, Hungarian artist Rita Ackermann appropriated Mario's pictures and created 3-D collages and paintings which she set between plexiglass panels."

The following images are more striking in the original layout of the magazine (these here comprise about one half of the spread).

And it could go w/o saying that these shrinky digital snapshots are no subsitute for the glossy pages of the magazine.

The same could also be said for the Purple Anthology/15th Anniversary collection just published by Rizzoli. Though priced at little more the cost of two issues of the magazine it is def. worth checking out.
