EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'The Marionettes' by the renowned photographer Annie Fish, transports us back to the Jazz Age of the late 1910s. The fashionable young woman, dressed in the height of 1920s elegance, sits at a table in a chic restaurant, her expression betraying a sense of ennui and boredom. Her male companion, equally stylishly attired, gazes intently into her eyes, seemingly trying to engage her in conversation. The reflection in the mirror behind them reveals a room filled with lively diners, their laughter and chatter creating a stark contrast to the quiet tableau before us. The couple's drink of choice adds an intriguing element to the scene - it appears to be absinthe, the notorious and intoxicating spirit that was all the rage during this era. The green hue of the drink, along with the ornate glassware and the dimly lit room, contribute to an atmosphere of decadence and indulgence. Annie Fish's masterful use of light and shadow, as well as her ability to capture the nuances of emotion, make 'The Marionettes' a standout piece from this period. The image invites us to ponder the story behind the couple's seemingly disconnected interaction, and to appreciate the fashion and culture of the Roaring Twenties.
