Weather #10

Australian artist Rosemary Laing's series of photographs were made in response to current shifts in climate, both global and political. In weather, the human subject is suspended and encircled by a whirlwind of newspaper strips that obscure her figure. The woman's dress, designed by Laing, was inspired by Victorian-era clothing and represents working women of the 19th century. The images are fraught with energy and tension, as the woman's body is flung about mid-air, defenseless within her unnatural, uncertain surroundings. — Galerie Lelong
