inspired by the advertising aesthetic, french artist alain delorme created ‘little dolls’, a series of images which mix innocent youth with commercial subject. his photographs take an ironic and quite concerning analysis at young girls and western female stereotypes. he looks at icons such as the Barbie doll, whose image has become a main object of identity for young girls. the subject’s of each image, with their forced smiles and attitudes, are all constrained by an ever-present hand, as if holding the girls back from falling into a world of a particular feminine standard and plastic transformations.
