Barbara Magazine
Barbara magazine, Issue #31, December 2018, “It should look like an accident,” feature on “Morbidity & Mortality” photography series.
The German women’s magazine, Barbara, aims to be smarter and funnier than the typical women’s magazine. The theme for this issue was “crime,” so May’s photos of pet toys as murder victims fit perfectly. Each photo was accompanied by a humorous description of how the “accident” may have happened. Dorthe Hansen wrote the text.
