Ellen Von Unwerth, Berlin

Description

This diptych photography by Ellen Von Unwerth features two contrasting yet complementary scenes of a blonde woman in retro-styled hair and makeup. The left frame is a high-contrast black-and-white shot where the woman is dressed in a form-fitting black laced dress and fishnet stockings, holding a champagne bottle in an interior setting with a sink cabinet. The right frame is in vibrant color, capturing the same woman posing dramatically with one arm raised near a large vanity mirror framed by warm glowing lightbulbs and a patterned blue floral backdrop. The composition plays on classic glamour, intimate dressing room aesthetics, and energetic staging.
