The mythological story of the dating couple (or “dyad” in the jargon of theory) is the subject of Susan Bozic’s The Dating Portfolio, a work of staged photography that took two years to complete. The “man” in the photographs is a mannequin named Carl, and the woman is the artist herself, wearing a wig. “Anything becomes possible when creating staged images,” she says. “The moment I put on the wig I get straight into character and became Carl’s girlfriend.”
