The pink and blue project
Via Daily Dish, I learned of the “Pink and Blue Project” by photographer Jeongmee Yoon.
Here’s his approach:
To make “The Pink and Blue Project” images, I visit the child’s room, where I display and rearrange his/her colored accessories. I ask my models to pose for me with their pink or blue objects, in an effort to show the viewer the extent to which children and their parents, knowingly or unknowingly, are influenced by advertising and popular culture. I first lay out the larger items, blankets or coats, and then spread smaller articles on top of the clothes. This method references objects that are displayed in a museum collection. In some pictures, the children even look like dolls.
