“The large scale of the work creates a shifting sensation between the object/image and the viewer. There is confusion between who is viewer and who is object, who is large and who is small, who is important and who struggles for meaning – forcing the viewer to reflect on their own existence as a central entity. The work narrates detail and scale and explores the paradoxical relationship between comfort and unease, beauty and decay, endurance and fragility.” – Fausta Facciponte

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
Here is Fausta Facciponte’s Doll Series. Coming face to face with these large portraits, one notices dust, dirt, and filaments of hair–remnants left by the author to convey the arduous process she went upon to rescue and salvage the old children’s toys. Thrift stores, garage sales, and online auctions were just a few of the places Facciponte found these relics of children’s past, long forgotten by their owners. Through examining these objects, asking what their story is, where they come from, who owned them and who confided in them, the work creates an empathy within the viewer, adding to the experience the sense that the viewer themselves is likened to a material object.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
