Menagerie: when men call women names
Fox, from the series Menagerie, © 2007 by Rachel GravesWomen around the world are harassed every day with derogatory terms. In the UK these names are usually associated with animals: bitch, bird, fox... UK photographer Rachel Graves decided to explore these ideas through a series of self-portraits. The portraits consist of before and after photos of herself: one made-up to look like the animal in question, the other just before all of the make-up is removed.
Lens Culture features the whole series so far, along with a short text by the artist.
