The “Orgiastic Carafe,” by Edouard Larmaraud. As M. Larmaraud says, “thanks to this carafe with a glass shaped neck, the gesture of ‘drinking straight from the bottle’ become less vulgar.”

Marina Bychkova’s Bride of Frankenstein, one of her many Enchanted Dolls. The doll’s description:
“I like to challenge conventional imagery of known literary characters, and provide an alternative view of how they might have looked. The reason my Bride is blonde, is to contrast the iconic image of the movie’s version, and also to play on the idea of the body’s low Melanin levels. I imagine that when she was alive she was bright and vibrant with dark eyes and raven hair, but the postmortem trauma to her body and the mechanical process of reanimating her corpse had changed its molecular composition. I think that being blasted with several thousand volts of electricity would contribute to that also. The metal helmet is her life support and what keeps her dead brain artificially alive by pumping oxygen into it and zapping it with small amounts of electricity to maintain its basic functions. It acts like a pump and a defibrillator.
“This project was inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, while the helmet in particular was inspired the Steampunk culture, as well as Camelia D’Errico’s and James Christensen’s work. The bridal gown is rendered in the style of Erte.”
