Gardening From the series My Life as Barbie

Nikoletta Zissi in her series My Life as Barbie stages herself as a toy-doll of the multinational company. Using in the backdrop the familiar color of the doll’s packaging, fastening her own feet with fishing line and introducing the prints into real Barbie boxes, she impersonates a different character in each work, opening a vivid dialogue on the stereotypical or defined social roles that are ascribed or prescribed for the female gender from a tender age.
