from series "little dolls"
"Inspired by the advertising aesthetic, the series Little Dolls, takes an ironic and worrying look at the identification by young girls with western female stereotypes, such as the Barbie doll, which over the last 60 years has become its' commercial icon.Incarnation of the fantasies of contemporary consumer society, a mediatized toy sold across the planet, Barbie is today the biggest selling doll in the world, and consequently, one of the main objects of identity projection for little girls."
"In Alain Delorme's images the mix of innocent youth and commercial object, denounces the standardization and subjection of bodies, smiles, looks.Smooth skin, smiles and forced attitudes, are constrained by an ever-present hand. At once little girls, women and dolls, the Little Dolls show a possible worrying future where the child, at the cost of plastic transformations, risks to become a simple object, amenable and transformable at will."
