Boundaries

Boundaries is a series of images investigating society’s limitations on femininity and sexuality. Images and motifs that are frequently seen in advertising are subverted into raw and honest photographs of the female body, printed on a large scale to make the audience feel awkward or uncomfortable. The viewers are then confronted with the question: why, if you are surrounded by this imagery on a casual, day-to-day basis, do you feel embarassed to view the reality that exists behind the commercial illusion? Why is it acceptable in one context but not in the other? How is one style of photograph shameful whilst the other is printed on building-sized billboards for whole cities to view and critique?

The second trip to Berlin was far more self-led, but we were also accompanied by my elder sister, who was living in Berlin for the summer and who, alongside her fiancé, pulled us out of more than one sticky situation (imagine two drunk teenagers staggering around Berlin at night trying to find their way back to the hostel, and you have a good image of what one of those situations was). I've made one to Prague, which was again directed by the university apart from when the sun went down, when we consulted our guidebooks and the internet in the hopes of reading about a decent bar that we - three girls who wanted to dance, one who didn't want a crazy club night, one gay man who wanted a 'big gay night out', and a couple of guys who were...
