Corroded Crisp

This was the sign of a chocolate store in Rundle Mall, Adelaide. It had so much nostalgic charm to it, couldn’t help myself.

Whenever I see an old chocolate shop, I can’t help but think of Charlie & The Choc Factory. There is a sinister side to that movie, and the original novel too. I wanted that to come through on this. Abandoned and run down, post Willy Wonka, what happens to a place that looks happy, but is in fact, not?

    Really brilliant work mate, perfect framing and the rust gives this a cold brutalist feel, austere but layered, for some reason I have cold war USSR promotional films running throguh my head, threatening yet tired….I must need sleep, great work as always Andrew

  • parmi replied

    Thanks so much Jus, I really enjoy hearing your take on my work. I understand the Cold War feel to this, never noticed it before, but you’re right, it is reminiscent of that, not sure what element of the shot, but it’s there. Really happy you like this one, thanks for the great, detailed comment mate, always appreciated!
