From the series: SteppenBarock, 2003 Photographs of performances

The performances are acted by women (who were naked at the start) wearing turbans, head-cloths, and veils who, in wrapping themselves up in this attire, turn into other beings: "half demons from "a thousand and one nights", half aliens in the burka" (from a text by Julia Sorokina).
