Barbies is a series of photographs of small objects. The objects contain one or more Barbie dolls wrapped in felt with inlays of human hair. Enclosing dolls in felt materialises the confusion of feeling imprisoned and protected at the same time. There is an overall helplessness that combines with the combination of sexuality and child-like character, bringing to mind Surrealism’s femme-enfant. I have chosen to display Barbies as photographs instead of the real object as photographs have the potential to confuse the scale of these small objects and thus exaggerate the effect of insecurity between real and imaginative.
