A COLLECTION BY LÍDIA VIVES
The photograph series "Pop" is a collection of black and white self-portraits that explore the concept of popular culture and its influence on society. Through the use of iconic figures from the world of entertainment and media, the artist decontextualizes and reimagines these characters, giving them new meanings and identities.
In "Pop," the innocent and beloved Mickey Mouse becomes a punk and sinister figure, while the playful and cheerful PlayBoy bunny is transformed into a sad and melancholic creature. The series challenges the viewer to consider the role of popular culture in shaping our perceptions and expectations of the world around us.
With its striking imagery and thought-provoking themes, "Pop" is a photograph series that invites the viewer to question and explore the power of popular culture and its impact on the human experience.
Year: 2015
Part of my Pop series. In this photograph I wanted to decontextualize a worldwide known character and child icon that represents innocence. In this case, along with the pose and the treatment of black and white, that Mickey Mouse becomes a mischievous and dark being.
