selected tag: vanity

these images reveal playful performances, self-indulgence, and even the fetishism of “domestic life.” the “vanity” tag comes out of a heated discussion about a seeming lack of “politicization” in taking the individually centered images not interested in joining an imagined domestic photographer collectivity. the question of external judgment and ethics of participatory and collective work is then also raised. is the current bilderkritik group entitled to make such a critique? what’s the agency of this critique? other bilderkritik groups may argue against our judgment and criteria: are are they really too shallow for domestic worker photographers? aren’t they pointing to another element of desire we might miss from our politically instrumentalizing analysis?
