Tell-Tale Art

I have some photos left over that aren’t really Gallery material, but which I want to show the world anyway…

This is from the Phoebe Allen shoot. It’s Hoxton Sq in April, which at the time was playing host to a very convincing group of mannequins. From my diary at the time:

In Hoxton Square on a rather cold morning: I pose next to a very realistic-looking art exhibit comprising life-size mannequins in forensic white suits and masks, posed as if they’re combing a section of the square in the manner of a crime scene. Except the fluttering tape around them isn’t labelled ‘POLICE’, but ‘THE TELL-TALE HEART’. As in the Edgar Allen Poe story.

On the bench nearby sits a shivering lady with a clipboard and one of those handheld clicker-counters used to count visitors. She tells me it’s part of a Harland Miller show at the nearby White Cube gallery, influenced by Poe.
