I have combined both recent photography work and sound art to create this short film. It is based on representing reality through a medium ( Barbie dolls) most used to represent a completely idyllic yet unrealistic idea of reality.
Over the summer, I became aware of how the status updates and comments on my friends Facebook pages affected my mood. I then started thinking, if adults were affected in this way then how would young people cope with it? seeing as they in many cases are dealing with several hundred “friends” and their updates, notifications and comments all at once.
How can we deal with being alone and yet crowded at the same time?
