Hester Scheurwater: Glamour Girls

Eye:

In Glamour Girls, as in many of her short films, Hester Scheurwater's camera explores the relationship between human beings and space, and between humans themselves. That relationship does not flourish. The modern individual - in this case three women imprisoned by the glass and concrete of sleek high-rise structures - appears isolated from reality, unable to connect with itself or its surroundings. The women are modern geisha's, with excessive, smudged make-up, and limbs covered in blood. After trying to fill the void with glamour, they lie down in silence, realizing that innocence has been lost.
