Guy Bourdin - Walking Legs 1979
"Officially being unveiled alongside Somerset House’s show ‘Image-Maker’, ‘Walking Legs’, is one of Bourdin's most loved Charles Jourdan campaign series. 'Walking legs' was shot in 1979 by the French designer and photographer used quintessentially English landscapes as the backdrop to this high-end campaign. Photographed at locations on a road trip taken in a Cadillac from London to Brighton, many of the city and seaside scenes remain the same today and include familiar sights such as the London bus stop and the classic park bench. As with much of Bourdin’s work, the model is mysteriously absent - all that is seen is a pair of mannequin legs, adorned with Charles Jourdan’s creations."

Eva Stenram - Parts 2013-ongoing
"Parts uses 1960s pin-up photographs as its source material. The pictures are digitally altered, obliterating most of the model and leaving only a leg intact. The resultant mood is macabre - the severed limb does not entice and the original photograph's erotic effect is turned on its head. When just one leg of the model remains, this leg calls attention to the rest of the scene. Viewers may try to piece together the original position of the model, or perhaps accept the leg as an absurd interior decoration or prop.
The result is a very artificial and theatrical image even though the depiction of the model is drastically censored and cut. As all the flesh is removed from the pin-up images, the viewer is left to revel in the textures and materials of the stockings, footwear and interior decor."
