Description
“On the third day he took me to the river.
He showed me the roses and we kissed,
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist.

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief.
As I kissed her goodbye, I said, ‘All beauty must die’
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth.

They call me ‘The Wild Rose’,
But my name was Eliza Day.
Why they call me it I do not know,
For my name was Eliza Day,
My name was Eliza Day,
For my name was Eliza Day.”

[ Where The Wild Roses Grow – Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds ]

Fourth shoot from the Where The Wild Roses Grow series with BriarRose and her boyfriend.
So here we are, the story’s climaxing. Speaking of which, we wanted to be subrly allusive about the moment of the actual murder (since the whole song is quite filled with subtle eroticism), so there we went. We tried different shoots for this one, trying to use a slower speed to catch the motion of Yue’s arm, but we eventually decided to use this one because, while still, has a dynamic angle that suits the tragic moment.
Taken in the Parco del Valentino, Turin.
