„My barbie with..."

Who did not, apart from a few men possibly, play with a barbie in her childhood? Dressing, changing and masquerading barbie were part of a daily ritual and questions of hairstyle and charisma were raised anew each day. When my barbie was beautifully dressed I also felt fine, when she was styled well I wasn`t afraid of comparing myself with others. Reduced in form and colour, the fotograms too open up opportunities of dressing, changing and masquerading, thus reflecting the early childlike way of playing with one`s own desires and imaginations.
