Innocence


"A fine spring day, a carriage sprints between this world and the next." - Batou

"Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence", an animated film exploring the virtual reality which is more real than one thinks. The dolls depicted are based on the work of Hans Bellmer.
.
The lives our dolls actually lead, evidenced and captured on photographs, and the philosophical implications of their lives has always interested me.
.
No one would attempt to pigeon hole Orchid as a mere 'object of art'. Her luxurious life continues as she readies for her wedding to Doug in January 2010.
