Postmodern Principles: Olivia Gude

The actual reading portion for this article was mediocre. It didn't excite me any, however; the pictures it had along with the reading evoked some emotion in me. The juxtaposition piece by a student was described as a "psychological self-portrait" which i think is very interesting. Not many high school students think to do a psychological self portrait and his choice to use marshmallows and fire is very thought provoking. My favorite picture from the collection is the recontextualization image, titled as "Border Barbie". I am inspired by this piece because it takes something/someone we all know and molds it into a realistic situation. Everyone has heard about how Barbie has unrealistic bodily proportions, which she does, but what I love about this piece so much is how the artist took a situation like immigration seem very realistic and almost glamourous by having a company like Barbie as its face.
