Vancouver-based photographer Dina Goldstein shoots for magazines and ad agencies around the world. Her series, In the Doll House, examines the less than perfect life of B and K. B is a super doll, the most successful doll in the world. Her partner K is grappling with his sexuality and finds himself in a loveless marriage. He struggles with his position in the household and faces his lack of authenticity.

So good! I love this concept. And the spirit of it is not that far from the truth in many cases.

the ideas / concept is interesting. Really wondered why no one did it before.
but Its really nothing new i have a friend that makes short films out out Lego people and even when he started about 5 years there was a number of people already doing it.

Its seems too obsessed with GAY though….maybe it would of worked in the 90’s or early 2000’s.
She needs to get some new ideas using the same dolls. You have to wonder which guy ran away with her husband
