The hauntingly beautiful Benediction (3:46) was directed by Iris Brosch and stars Benedicte De Baron. The ultimate female form is presented by Benedicte, as she awakes to a new reality amongst her peers, all of whom are mannequins. Is she real or one of them? Edited by Natalie Braxton with styling by Irma Birka.
The artist, photographer and director Iris Brosch, living between New York and Paris, is known internationally for restoring dignity and strength to the image of women in photography. Her photographic style has been described as “ Miuccia Prada meets Leonardo da Vinci”. Brosch’s unique celebration of female sensuality moves in fresh and fascinating directions in her ability to rework timeless classicism with a thoroughly modern twist. The work of Iris Brosch is and isn’t anything we have seen before. It is Raphaelian. It is Modern. It is mystical and ethereal, anchored by the weight of a powerful female mind
