MANNEQUIN COVERS


THE MANNEQUIN HOUSE
R.N. MORRIS


When Detective Inspector Silas Quinn is called in to investigate the death of one of the employees - a young female mannequin from the women's costumes department - he gets more than he bargained for. The principal suspect is a fez-wearing monkey who is the only "person" in the room with the murdered girl and the room is locked from the inside.


MANNEQUIN
OLIVIA BEST


A steamy contemporary erotic romance novella set in the glamorous high fashion modelling industry in New York City.

MANNEQUIN REFLECTION
GEORGE KOLLAR



George Kollar's series of photographs are layers of reality, pure examples of photographic seeing that reveal a unique depth of field. The emanation of mannequin and reflection, light and form, presents a new and unusual visual language through chance juxtapositions that lifts the veil on constructed reality and representation.




MANNEQUIN SERIES ONE NEIL CHAPMAN



A critic for Artweek magazine called this series of work, "Social Allegories." That has remained for the past decades. Mannequin Series One is a project of social allegories.


MANNEQUIN RISING

ROY MIKI





This book is a series of poems that are interspersed with the author’s photomontages, many of which contain storefront mannequins superimposed with images of pedestrians in the street. The mannequins can be taken as metaphorical commentary on the human figures in the frames; static and passive.

 

COUNTER CULTURE: THE ALLURE OF MINI-MANNEQUINS

LOUISE FILI AND STEVEN HELLER 




In Counter Culture, Steven Heller and Louise Fili take the author on a colorful peep show of these sexy, sometimes erotic, but always fetishistic, plaster bodies and body parts. Theirs is a surreal look at how mannequins play on consumers' desires, acting as agents of seduction, beckoning us toward that ultimate act--the consumption of goods.
