I released i was trying to copy Hannah Hoch's Das Schone Madchen/beautiful girl collage instead of understanding it so i decided to research the artists and this peace of work
i found out this is a photomontage made in the 1920's that deals with gender issues amidst the dawning of Germany’s New Woman. the hair and womans body is looking at beauty trends and expectations in women of that time and the Car parts are contrasting with the way society looks at women, even today. I started noting similarities in what i felt Hoch was trying to say was the modern women in the 20's and what is a modern woman today.
trying to keep similar colours and tone, i chose a modern day hair style as well as a measuring tape and lipstick to suggest modern day female beauty standards, i chose the black and white woman at the top for minimalism but put the iconic 2015 brows over the top, i kept the BMW badge but changed it to the 2015 one as i felt their is still an association with cars and men. i used a some car and computer parts, again to signify a female stereotype. I used a modern female's body wearing revealing clothes with the head cut off and replaced with a light bulb to imply todays modern woman is a free bright thinker. i kept the hand and pocket watch, i was trying to say with this that time might have moved forward but somethings are still the same.
Great!
