Reenactments of Reenactments of a Happy Woman in Relationship– the Alternative Stock Photo Series, (2015-16)

Using the vast archive of photographic imagery available online, this project addresses the constructs of identity and image. Searching “happy woman in relationship” on Google Image, I find common themes in the photographic archive and then reenact the reenactments of the happy couples in the images. I then manipulate them with Photoshop to create compositions that respond to the “happy woman in relationship” images.
