They convey the look of sleeper or more probably lovers. The top sheet with the sweep of its crumpled folds is like the sea breaking on an abandoned beach. The photograph is elegiac. The lovers are gone but they are memorialized by the casual suggestive disposition of the pillows. Portrait 2 In another one of Lilo Raymond s most beautiful photographs two pillows have been placed one on top of the other before a simple mirror and upon a white dresser. A window on the left framed by filmy curtains lets in the light. Everything is suffused with whiteness everything except the black knobs of the dresser s top drawers and the gray ceiling as it is reflected in the mirror. It is morning a house is being cleaned a bed is being made. The moment of the photographs is ordinary but it possesses an extreme uncharacteristic purity. The pillows which are temporarily out of place look nevertheless as if they belong on the dresser as if they have a life apart from their utility.
