Bonecas, objectos da nossa juventude que nos trazem recordações... medos. Ao navegar por aí dei de caras com o trabalho de Mariel. Gostem ou não, é impressionante o trabalho de cada cenário fotografado... A arte de uma cena de um crime, vivida na cabeça de Mariel e posta em prática por bonecas da Mattel... Uma Canon 50D faz o resto, transformando um cenário montado numa evidência irrefutável.Mariel says:
"I can't explain how my mind works, or why these ideas come to it.
It started out with a camera and a major interest in travel photography, but a sublime encounter in a Tokyo toy shop led me into the surreal world of Japanese miniatures, and ultimately to the stories that could be told with them. Since I started working with dolls, I have grown more and more to appreciate what
can be done with them, how the smallest gesture or placement seems to convey volumes. Also, I happen to think it's a damn funny medium.
I'm entirely self-taught in photography."
