WHEN NATURE FORGETS
Peter Milne’s dolls, dummies and mannequins in historical displays simper, strut and smoulder; their often abject and eroticised condition arousing strong emotional responses from the viewer. The strange jaunty sound track accompanying the audio visual presentation adds to the carnival atmosphere while further unsettling and disturbing. Is History and the entire documentary process here to be read as an act of titilation?
