Today, I just wanted to feature Flickr member rosiehardy’s Flickr Stream called “Behind the Scenes – Fairytales (What REALLY went on with those characters behind closed doors!)”. She has found an amazing way photograph her own recreation of scenes from popular fairy-tales and link each picture to an important statistic or fact about a real crisis in our world. For example, Sleeping Beauty is linked to drug overdose (she pricked her finger on a needle), Goldilocks is associated with bulimia (she felt guilty after eating all that porridge) and Rapunzel represents all those who oppressed individuals in this world who live without freedom ~ among other fantastic images. Check out her Fairy-Tale set here.
Here are a few of my favourites from the set:
“The real reason behind Thumbelina’s abnormal growth was far more sinister than a magical seed.”
“Unfortunately for Snow White, binge eating disorder had many terrible consequences when she bit off more than she could chew.”
“Nobody could work out why the Princess was still black and blue, covered in bruises – even after she started sleeping on the sofa”
