LOVE, 2K19'S LOVE (TEXT) VERSION.

STILL LIFE EXPLANATIONS.

 This still life photoshoot is about 2019 relationships’ issues. Through three different pictures which are all depicting three distinct situations that a couple in nowadays society can go through. We wanted to present diverse problems of a certain majority of the couples in our days, because of the uncounted shifts the society is experiencing since 2000. 

  We decided to choose some dolls, to represent the protagonists of the couple we wanted to display. The dolls are Barbie dolls, so a Barbie girl, for the image it represents meaning the perfect girl, filled with all the beauty standards such as being blond, tall, having blue eyes and hang out with Ken, the perfect boy and masculine figure of Barbie.

 The photoshoot is divided in three parts, that are all talking about a single matter, but that are still related one to another, like a sort of a story. We wanted all the pictures to be complementary, to give an impact more important to the viewers. 

 The first photograph is showing the plot, indeed we can see a man and a woman who aren’t facing each other, but that are positioned back to back. The woman, played by Barbie, is dressed with a beautiful wedding dress, in correlation with what we can suppose to be her husband, which is wearing a black suit. They’re both listening to music with some headphones, while a phonograph is standing in the middle. That means that they do not have a sense of complicity and that the love alchemy is not very present though they’re apparently getting married.

 This is showing the main issue of our decade, with the apparition of the bluetooth music and the earphones, no one is sharing nothing with nobody anymore, even when there’s two people in a place sharing music, everyone wants to be alone with their minds.

 The second picture is showing Barbie girl being very proud of her man, showing to the viewer a picture of him, while mister is in his bedroom as well, holding a picture of a girl also, avoiding the fact that it’s not his girlfriend-soon-to-be-his-wife, but a random girl which he is masturbating on. This is a reminder that trust and loyalty, are not anymore seen as the basics of a relationship,  because now, with the porn sites, everyone thinks the real life is looking the same. 

 The third picture is showing only Barbie, crying and drinking alcohol, because she saw on instagram that her boyfriend — almost husband —, is having another relationship with another girl than her. We wanted to show that you never know everything about the one you love.

 Relationships aren’t all the same, but in all cases people are changing either in a good way either in a bad one. Society and medias of all kind are influencing us, and you have to be careful and you mustn’t forget your human being part, in yourself. Preserve yourself from being hurt, and don’t hurt the others, as much as you can.
