Plastic Girls — The Age of Plastic Innocence (1977–1980)
This chapter documents the earliest phase of the Plastic Girls archive, focusing on shop-window mannequins before the rise of performative display. Photographed between 1977 and 1980, these figures are defined by restraint: balanced poses, controlled gestures, and a visual language centered on stillness rather than spectacle. Seen today, they mark the final moment of an “innocent” artificial body, quietly entering public space before excess, dramatization, and theatrical identity took hold.

In Sardinia, Italy, many still bake bread at home. For special events, like Easter and weddings, these bread sculptures, often showcasing high levels of both imagination and artistic ability, are given as an expression of good wishes.
