Performance artist Tim Dey has recreated the "Ghost of Versailles" as white-wigged and white-powdered aristocrats of the court of King Louis XVI of France, using bubble-wrap for materials. That's right - their costumes are made of bubble-wrap, plastic hose, water bottles and plastic wrappers.This photo was taken at the UCLA Fowler Museum during the opening reception for their 2006 exhibition Carnaval!

I LOVE that idea!
I'm with CP: what an amazing idea! The practical side of me would worry about plasticky noises during the performance. But that's only because I'm super-retentive :)
Absolutely incredible!! Amazing what beauty can come of such mundane items... hugs ~lynne~
