se as heroínas de livros infantis fossem gente de verdade, seriam assim: cheia de filhos, heleninha roitmann em plena luz do dia e fãs de junkie food. tão mais real, né? se as crianças crescessem lendo as histórias dessas aí, talvez idealizassem menos o mundo real…

as fotos são do projeto fallen princesses, de dina goldstein

These works place Fairy Tale characters in modern day scenarios. In all of the images the Princess is placed in an environment that articulates her conflict. The ‘…happily ever after’ is replaced with a realistic outcome and addresses current issues.

The project was inspired by my observation of three-year-old girls, who were developing an interest in Disney’s Fairy tales. As a new mother I have been able to get a close up look at the phenomenon of young girls fascinated with Princesses and their desire to dress up like them. The Disney versions almost always have sad beginning, with an overbearing female villain, and the end is predictably a happy one. The Prince usually saves the day and makes the victimized young beauty into a Princess.
