Dressed to Kill

“I’m dressed to kill
And if I don’t, somebody else will..

..Like the glass that’s glued to your hand
Baby, I’m gonna be your man
I’m dressed to kill
I must be taking all the right pills
You know I’m your number one fan
Baby, I’m gonna be your man
Yeah, I’m gonna be your man”(c)The Wombats

I knew this song for quite some time, but I came across it again recently. And today, suddenly, an image popped into my head, and I realized that I want to make a work on it.

As always, when I shoot something, a certain story arises in my head, which I try to embody in my work. So this work is a kind of “requiem” of a fan in love with his idol. It is a story like the one when a fan kills his idol to be “the only one” for him who did something that others did not. But, at the same time, this fan does not want to be recognized and arrested. So he dresses up in an image from different things, so that potential witnesses get confused in their testimonies and this fan is impossible to track down.

From the references – the song has the lines:
“Let’s have the best worst night we’ve ever had in our lives
You, me and Molly in the bathroom” – the photo was also taken in the bathroom.

Also on the knife is written “Naked in the Rain”, which is a reference to my friend, whose work inspires me.

“I’ve got to get you out of my mind and back into my arms
Closer than a close shave
I want to be shaking in the shockwave
It’s on tonight and I’ve only got one clear shot
A little courage for the road, please
Throw my troubles in a deep freeze”
