Los Caprichos v2.0

An idea for my senior thesis is to take these prints and similar ones from series by Francisco Goya, "Los Caprichos"

I want to use the same imagery and borrow the same compositions but through photography using props and costumes that reference a timelessness but also our current time period. I want to bring attention to our consumerist society and showing the flaws big government and big business have on our society while we blindly follow.

Shadi Ghadirian

Her Bio and statement from Womeninphotography.com :
"Shadi Ghadirian was born in 1974 in Tehran, Iran. She is a photographer who continues to live and work in Iran. Ghadirian studied photography at Azad University (in Tehran). After finishing her B. A., Ghadirian began her professional career as a photographer. Currently, Ghadirian works at the Museum of Photography in Tehran.

Her work is intimately linked to her identity as a Muslim woman living in Iran. Nonetheless, her art also deals with issues relevant to women living in other parts of the world. She questions the role of women in society and explores ideas of censorship, religion, modernity, and the status of women. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries across Europe, and the U.S.A. She has also been featured in print and electronic media (including the New York Times, Photography Now, the Daily Telegraph, the BBC and others). Her work is in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, among others. www.shadighadirian.com."
