Melanie Pullen: High Fashion Crime Scenes

Melanie Pullen: High Fashion Crime Scenes, October 3 - November 4, 2006 at Stephen Wirtz Gallery. "...Using the Los Angeles Police Department and County Corner’s office database as primary study for her reenacted crime scenes, Los Angeles based photographer Melanie Pullen presents high saturated chromogenic prints for her series aptly titled High Fashion Crime Scenes. Pullen’s High Fashion Crime Scenes takes aim at the public’s fascination with forensic investigations, crime scenes and bodies of evidence, while confusing the solemn feel of such scenes by the inclusion of haute couture."
