Photographer Suzanne Heintz created a series of photos of herself posing with her fake family of mannequins in her Life Once Removed project. Tired of being questioned about being single and childless, Heintz set out to deconstruct and parody American society's expectations of women, marriage and children. The photographs hav her her posing with her 'husband at various places, including the Eiffel Tower and the Arc De Triumph. They are all dressed like a middle class suburban nuclear family, giving off a very Leave it to Beaver vibe.
The purposeful artificiality of Life Once Removed makes for a very striking commentary on the values enforced in North American society and our expectations that a woman wants to marry and have kids. It is also an excellent criticism of how we look on women not interested in marriage or children as strange and even unnatural.
