Imogen Darling-Blair Fictitious decay

This is a story that contrasts a young woman’s fashion-conscious existence with her daily life played out against archetypal Australian male activities – lawnmowing, cricket playing, barbecuing… Fictitious decay achieves a strong contrast between her clothes, her background story and context. Her dreams and imagination influence the images, seen for example in the animal life going on around her. This creates a kind of magical realism, bringing the characters to life with the aid of high dramatics and bringing a serial quality to life.
