about "amazing girls"


"Lesbian Barbies. Yes or Not?
Yes! Because people are what they are!
Yes! Because anybody can be anything!
May be! Because anyone is just one thing!
Not? Why not? After all, dolls are instruments to represent ourselves and others human beings!" [K.S.]


"amazing girls" 

"The 'AMAZING GIRLS' series was originated from a stimulus to show sensuous relationship between women, and at the same time to incite the reflection on subjects intimately interconnected to the feminine sexuality, such as: pleasure, freedom, prejudice, respect, fetish, manipulation... Barbie doll as a referential beauty standard... While photographing and mounting the installations with the dolls in poses insinuating love, amusement, sensuality and eroticism between real women, I try to catch facial and bodily expressions showing the intensity of a feeling, the drama of a situation. Then, in the computer, I create digital transformations, and though they simulate pictorial and oneiric effects, in a certain way bring the images near the imagined reality."
