Guy Bourdin : Britain By Cadillac

"Guy Bourdin: Britain by Cadillac charts Guy Bourdin’s seminal road trip of Britain in 1979 to take photographs for a Charles Jourdan advertising campaign. Bourdin dispensed with the use of a model and employed instead a pair of mannequin legs, cut off just below the knee. She is only a hint of a woman, and yet in each situation in which Bourdin placed her she becomes a complete character within a story, told around many iconic British landmarks such as a Brighton seafront, an English rose garden, a taxi rank, and Battersea Power Station. Featuring 25 photographs, most of which have never been published before, as well as film stills from the trip and original Polaroids."
