Piece of Cake - Tales of Lipstick and Virtue

The photograph "Piece of Cake" is part of the body of work "Tales of Lipstick and Virtue" and symbolizes figuratively the textil and brand industry and the commodity fetish of the contemporary society we live in. These industries are a complex mesh of various requirements, from the people living in poverty working at the lower end of the hierarchy trying to make ends meet, to the network of imitations and the global players. Built up on a blurred thin line between legality and illegality, pseudo luxury and luxury, bootleg and original.
