Sorry for the lack of posting we have had a serious internet black out throwing us back to the middle ages and are therefore unable to update all aspects of the blog and Facebook and leaving us feeling a bit gutted considering how well received the blog has been in it is short and ever changing/evolving life time.
Julian Rosefeldt’s Global Soap project
Love these, the ability to highlight such subtle body language that define overacting in soap operas around the world.
Julian Rosefeldt’s Global Soap project is a vast collection of soap opera images archiving housewives’ favourites from all over the globe. Highlighting the TV template of formulaic plotlines and fluency in the universal language of schmaltz, Rosefeldt’s Soap photos present multiple panels of characters playing out indentical roles. Cropped to the format of actor’s publicity shots, the groupings of Rosefeldt’s subjects read like multi-national casting calls for archetypal villains and victims.
