Russian Girl MUMMIFIED Alive in a Sheikh’s desert villa… This story began in July 2023 when 27-year-old Elizabetha Veronova posted a series of photos from Dubai on her profile. She was a mid-level influencer with an audience of about 180,000 followers specializing in content about travel and art. Her last post was made on July 23rd. After that, the profile went silent. No one raised the alarm. In the influencer industry, breaks in activity were considered normal. Brands stopped collaborating. Subscribers gradually lost interest and the account slowly faded away. Voronova flew to Dubai at the invitation of a man who introduced himself as Fared al-Mansuri. He contacted her through a professional agent who worked with artists and models. The offer sounded attractive. Participation in a private art project for a contemporary art collection. $50,000 in payment accommodation in the collector’s villa. The work was supposed to take about two weeks. Voronova agreed after checking the references of the agent who had real contacts in the art world and worked with several well-known galleries in Europe. Al-Mansuri met her at the airport in person. He was a reserved man in his 50s who spoke proper English with a British accent. He was dressed in a light colored European style suit. They were driven in a premium car with a driver. During the trip, Al-Manssouri talked about his collection. He collected contemporary art, but was particularly interested in works related to the theme of the body and its transformation. He mentioned several well-known artists who worked in this direction. Voronova took notes. She saw this project as an opportunity to enter more serious art circles. The villa was not located in the city center, but on the outskirts in a deserted area where buildings were sparse. It was a house of modern architecture with large glass surfaces and white walls. The territory was fenced off by a high fence. Inside, the interior was minimalist. There was a lot of light. On the walls hung works that Veronova recognized as the creations of several famous artists. Al-Mansuri showed her around the house, showed her the guest room, and explained the layout. There was practically no staff to be seen, only a driver and a cook who appeared twice a day to prepare meals. On the first evening, they discussed the details of the project. Al-Mansuri showed her sketches and explained the concept. He wanted to create a series of photographs and video works exploring the idea of immobility and time. Voronova was to be placed in various poses wrapped in special materials resembling bandages. He explained this as a reference to ancient Egyptian mummification practices but in a modern context. The work was to be conceptual. No eroticism or provocation, pure art. Voronova asked questions. Al-Mansuroui answered in detail and convincingly. He showed her the contract she had signed in Moscow through an intermediary. Everything looked legitimate. Filming began the next day. Al-Mansori worked methodically. First simple poses. Veronova stood or sat while he took photos from different angles. Then he began to use materials. White strips of fabric soaked in some kind of solution. He explained that it was a special compound that created the desired texture and allowed the material to retain its shape. The smell was faint, medicinal. Voronova did not object. Al-Mansori worked professionally without unnecessary touching, commenting on each action. The first session lasted about 3 hours. Then he unwound the bandages, thanked her for her work, and let her rest. On the third day, Al-Mansori suggested trying a more complex composition. He wanted to fix her hands in a certain position to achieve the desired visual effect. He used thin plastic splints, which he attached under layers of fabric. Veronova felt discomfort, but not severe. Al-Mansori constantly asked if she was in pain and adjusted the tension. After the shoot, he did not immediately remove the contraption….Part 2 is in the comments👇👇
