Play by Leanne Eisen
The games we play as children are
rehearsals for the roles we play in
life. Traditional toys for girls nurture
homemaker stereotypes, simulating
traditional domestic roles through play.
In these photographs, I am exploring the
possibility of the same staging taking
place with the prolific, but publicly
hidden occupation of prostitution. By
constructing these scenes in miniature,
I project representations of the sex
industry onto the medium of the
conventional doll house. As polar
opposites, the homemaker and the sex
worker are highly constructed and
restrictive roles, the most
deeply-rooted myths of the feminine.
Recreated from many sources of representation these constructed spaces can be peered-into and examined.
