Adam Fuss


Adam Fuss was born in 1961 in London, United Kingdom. He is currently 59 years old, and has written three books.

The title of this picture is The Space Between Garden and Eve. I think that this image is very interesting because at first glance, a person may not know what Fuss is attempting to get across. My interpretation of this image is that there are snakes in the dress. The snakes are likely a biblical reference to when the snake in the Garden of Eden tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. The dress represents a girl/human. That would mean that the snakes in the dress represent the temptation and evil within a person. I think that the choice of a dress to embody Eve is particularly interesting because until Eve made the choice to eat the fruit, her and Adam did not cover themselves at all. So in her making the decision to cave in to temptation a lot of unexpected results followed. I think that this is a great photo because it has such powerful biblical background supporting it.
