Miles Aldridge (b.1964)
Le Manège Enchanté #4
Numero, 2007
The electrifying hues of this image are reminiscent of the work of 1930s photographers such as Madame Yevonde, who produced rich, jewel-like colours through the Vivex photographic process. Although luscious and visually alluring, this image carries a dark ambiguity: is the model sleeping or dead?
