Shoeper Duper
photography + acrylic paintings + objects, 2018-2019
I wanted to show the oppressiveness of shoes, by creating a seductive and fetishistic image of them. Especially for women there are several conditions that they have to satisfy, to be respected and taken seriously. Their look usually determines how they are perceived. In the 50s in the United States the concept of the perfect housewife was created. According to him, a housewife should not neglect her image. During the break between washing and making dinner she should touch up her makeup or manicure. The whole effort was to satisfy her husband/partner.
The idea of such a lifestyle and woman's addiction to a man's opinion is an absurd fetish and cleverly camouflaged violence. In the Shoeper Duper series I deal with threads related to discrimination.
