The Photograph of Dina Goldstein in front of the Pink Universe: An Analysis of the Series In The "Dollhouse" and "Fallen Princesses"

Abstract

In this study we observe two of Dina Goldstein’s most famous photography series: Fallen Princesses and In The Dollhouse. These photographic works show with severity the feminine models which are exposed to children spectators, in particular, the characters created by the Franchise Disney Princesses and the Company Barbie. These Article analyze Goldstein´s work with a qualitative study to observe how a female photographer reinvents female characters created to entertain a female audience. The analysis will focus on the characters of the work. In this way we can compare the works of Goldstein with their specific references —the characters of both franchises—, to find how the artist uses the same tools of the franchises in order to provide a new vision of them.
