Megan Fragopulu- Fine Art // Task 9

For this task I decided to use Cindy Shermans recent project of her instagram selfies. She uses different filters and effects to distort female faces.

I think that this project is really powerful and relates to the medias perception of women and how they have to constantly be put together and wear make up and have everything together all the time. By Cindy over editing the faces it adds a comical feel and look to the images which I really like. Also I think having the images uploaded to instagram rather than printed off or displayed in a gallery is really effective because she is challenging the media’s perception of woman in a direct way.
