Lit eerily by the screen of her television, Zora Star’s ‘Shooting’ explores our desensitisation to and alienation from so much of current political affairs, her own status as model subtly referenced and parodied in this Political Fashion submission.

Ironically against all the best intentions ... desensitization ..... is the 'perfect' gateway to escape , at least emotionally, from the insane and night mare like world we are witnessing around the clock ... how perfectly portrait here in 'Shooting' .... just wanting to fall sleep , comfortably and the ever comforting feeling of being save while watching a bloody horror movie that never seems to end ...the difference being we are not talking about a movie ! .... déjà vu over and over again .....

This is one more ...beyond... Political Fashion !

It is so true that we just collapse in front of our screens ,the never ending scenes of unimaginable barbarity and inhuman cruelty seeming to just add to a sense of torpor and lethargy. I feel this is why Fashion has to become political ,all those fashion photographers must see the same TV we all do. It must make them feel a sense of futility to have to go back into work the next day and pretend to be excited about a fashion story whose subject is banal beyond belief. They are intelligent and sensitive people ,otherwise we wouldn't like their work,so they must be affected by world events.Why dont we see it in their work? They are supposed to reflect our society.

Interesting questions ! .... and yet I dare to suggest that there is an odour hanging in the air of ...... 'self -imposed- censorship ' ... and I wonder WHY ?
