Avenue des Gobelins (Eugène Atget) Eugène Atget was one of the pioneers of conceptual photography. His famous work "Avenue des Gobelins" shows three mannequins in a window-shop; one of which is seen to be alive upon close inspection. Inside the shop between the two mannequins there is a man that wears the same clothes as the mannequins, has the same rigid posture. This can be interpreted as an allegory of modern civilization, representing the uniformity imposed on individuals by clothing.
