Brave Dolly Schiller // Qu’ai-je fait de ta vie?
Description
Inspired by Nabokov’s novel, Lolita, this photography book visualizes Humbert Humbert’s pedophilic poem to his 12-year-old stepdaughter, Lolita. The work mimics the nature of the novel itself, which is adorned with romantic and beautiful language but is actually about rape and pedophilia. The colours of the pictures are bright and girly, but the text itself is frightening. The work also shows the corruption of Lolita after being exposed to hypersexualization and abuse at such a young age. Variations of Lolita’s story, is, unfortunately, a reality for many young girls today.
