Andres Bedoya “Ultra Madre” [Video]
In 2009 Andres Bedoya organized a haunting performance installation “Ultra Madre,” in which 57 women lay still on the scaffolding of the main arch of the Museo Nacional de Arte in La Paz, Bolivia. For one hour the women did not move, their long, black hair cascading down the 15-foot structure. The jarring image of the soft hair against the rigid architecture stirred a quiet but lasting sense of unease.

Designer Susanne Bisovsky has envisioned a beautiful fashion collection inspired by painter Frida Khalo. The photo shoot was taken by Atelier Olschinsky, and the images will be exhibited this year at Kunsthalle wien.
