This is Joshua Hoffine’s new photograph LADY BATHORY, which had it’s debut at the gigantic Rue Morgue Festival of Fear in Toronto.
Lady Elizabeth Bathory was actually a real person. She was a Hungarian countess in the 16th century, and one of the most prolific serial killers in history. Apocryphally, she bathed in the blood of virgins to retain her youth and beauty.
The story of Lady Bathory serves as a cautionary tale on the dangers of vanity, and comments on the current preoccupation with youth and beauty in our contemporary society – from the mainstreaming of plastic surgery and botox injections, to body waxing and even piercing and tattoos.
