Ellen Von Unwerth. the Story of Olga, Art Edition a

By (photographer) Ellen Von Unwerth






| book description |

Although not by any means your traditional fairy tale, Ellen von Unwerth's ""The Passion of Olga"" is a fairy tale nonetheless. The photographic narrative traces the journey of a young widow, Olga, who after the death of her wealthy, elderly husband, is overtaken by an insatiable lust. She searches for love only to find it in the arms of an unlikely source, far from the riches and extravagance where she believed it resided it her youth. It is Olga's quest that reverses the traditional fairy tale, she is a heroine who is not afraid of her desire and it is from her search for sensuality that she finds the ubiquitous, love story, happy ending. Set amidst a glorious chateau, replete with all the trappings of wealth and glamour Ellen von Unwerth and Olga Rodionova present us with sumptuous images that are sexy and cheeky while bringing to life the enviable luxury of both fairy tales and modern desire. Von Unwerth's team of artists on this project include London born Anna Trevelyan, a young stylist who creates a unique and eyecatching fascinating style that is dark, beautiful, provocative, and sexually-charged, and French master set designer & prop stylist extraordinaire Fabienne Eisenstein, who is responsible for creating the pagan rituals and extravagant dinner scenes at the chateau. Art Edition limited to 125 copies
