To succeed in the international fashion capitals, models must be at least 16 years old. However, specialised Polish agencies identify children with potential from an early age and place them under contract. Former professional model, Zosia Promińska documents this reality in Future Perfect. In the privacy of her children’s bedrooms, she photographs these pre-teens who dream of a career in fashion and makes them pose as models. The photographer arranges for them to be dressed by top Polish fashion designers. Echoing the domestic past of L’Appartement – Espace Images Vevey, the installation highlights the commercialisation of young people by an industry that pushes these children to grow up too fast, luring them into a falsely perfect future.
