At first glance, if you squint, you might think it was a photograph: a couple nuzzling together in the front row of a concert hall, in a Facebook advertisement for the Queensland Symphony Orchestra (QSO). But look again and you'll see why it's caused a stir among creative workers and the union representing them. The couple's tangled fingers are both too large and too many; there's a strange sheen making them look more like wax dolls; and then there's the clothes: she in a tulle gown encrusted with jewels, he in a tuxedo – and, simultaneously, a tulle gown encrusted with jewels. Also: she has a large cube on her lap. "Want to do something different this Saturday? Come see an orchestra play," reads the ad.
