Monica Orozco stellt in der Fotoserie “It Lasted 16 Outfits” ihre fünfwöchige Romanze mit einem Mann auf humorvolle Art und Weise nach. Dabei ist die Fotografin an die Orte in Los Angeles, an denen sie “Mr. X” getroffen hatten, wieder zurückgekehrt und hat dort Selbstportrait von sich geschossen.

“It Lasted 16 Outfits”is a re-enactment of five weeks of my misadventures in dating in L.A. The first bloom of love may fade quickly, but a good outfit lasts forever. These self-portraits were shot in the exact places where Mr. X and I went on our whirlwind mini-romance and offer a peek inside the female side of the ritual: the mating dance, the dressing game, the spectacle, the theater. Are the outfits a shield for or a reflection of the woman within? Who knows. Who was he? Does it matter? The fact is that love is a many splendored thing. And SHE wears many many outfits.
