Words and Images: 'Xerox' by Munster + Longfei
Xerox
Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy, the narrator in David Fincher’s Fight Club famously said. Is anything really fresh? It’s a conundrum that plagues creative minds everywhere. “The Xerox machine challenges the concept of the creation of imagery, without using commonly known photographic devices such as the camera or the smartphone,” explains duo Munster + Long Fei, both of whom studied film. “It’s a tool which bears the same principles of capturing an image using light, producing a tangible visual output.” Other elements were incorporated into the shoot to act as counterpoints to the clothing: the spark- print Chanel dress was paired with cables, while a square-panelled Marni dress was juxtaposed with charcoal blocks.
