Dining alone
Taken from the series “In the Dollhouse” (2012)
The series plays out in a 10-part sequential narrative, photographed in a custom built adult sized dollhouse. This time Dina takes on one of the most powerful symbols of Western culture: Barbie and Ken, the beloved and idealized American couple. More than any other childhood construct, Barbie represents the concept that `Beauty´ is the apex trait and is necessary to attain power and happiness. Her co-star Ken, who has been trapped in an imposed marriage for over five decades, discovers his authentic self and finally expresses his individuality. Barbie´s fate is grim in Goldstein´s hands, as she breaks down and confronts her own value and fleeting relevance. Dina subverts the myth of ‘Perfection’ by means of satire and explores the idealistic and unstable concept of perfection.
