I found this surprisingly incongruous juxtaposition of mannequins and window dressers in a Ghent storefront. Essentially, it’s simply a scene of two people in the workplace doing their everyday job – the row of slender headless mannequins, with their tiny behinds turned to face the street, are not amusing to them. Yet the multiple incongruities in this shot were very entertaining to our group of camera-toting tourists. One of the window dressers is almost completely abstracted. All we see are the dresser’s feet, and parts of each hand caressing a mannequin. The pot of colorful flowers breathing life into the very stiff mannequins adds a surreal touch to the scene. But the ultimate incongruity is the surprise of the window dresser on the ladder. She seemed bewildered to find herself the subject of a photograph. Perhaps if she could have seen what we were seeing, she might have smiled.
