Ishiuchi Miyako’s brilliant and eerie photos of Frida Kahlo’s stuff

“In looking at the pieces from Frida’s life, we see how clothes give so many clues about their owners. Frida was noted for having elaborate outfits, getting more and more ostentatious as her health deteriorated. When her leg was amputated in 1953, she created a beautiful boot decorated with Chinese embroidery as a little bell. Her costume was at once a disguise, an armour and a decorative act of defiance; and Ishiuchi’s images are the perfect tribute to that. “
