Project Detail

Mannequin

Synopsis

The shop mannequin sees endless activity that passes for human existence. People fill their time moving, talking, shopping and looking. They gaze listlessly in at him and he stares impassively back. He is aching for their chance to live, imploring them to make the most of their freedom, outraged that they do not.
