This image strikes me the most out of Paiement's four bathing images in his Surfacing Over There exhibition in Mumbai, 2011. It strikes me because the perspective highlights the size of the shower space to in comparison to the size of the body that has to shower within it. The shower gel - in it's own small storage shelf - looks better fitting on its shelf than the body does to the shower.
The relationship between the body and the shower head being held is also quite awkward, the direction of the body in comparison to where the shower head is hung differs in direction - this demonstrates to me that thought as to where the shower head would go for this person hasn't been considered on a personal basis, and is the result of being manufactured and mass-produced. On a similar note, the body is facing away from the shelves (top right of the image) - is this choice or is the body forced to stand in this way?
