Royal Blood, Marie Antoinette +1793
A hauntingly cinematic photograph that reimagines the final moments of Marie Antoinette with Olaf's signature blend of theatrical staging and psychological tension. The meticulously composed image bathes its subject in a cold, desaturated palette, evoking both the opulence and tragic downfall of the doomed French queen. Mounted behind Diasec, the chromogenic print achieves a luminous depth that heightens the work's unsettling fusion of historical narrative and contemporary visual drama.
