‘barbie trashes her dreamhouse’ by st.louis-based artist carrie m. becker is a series of photographs capturing the doll’s miniature world as a living environment of a hoarder. littered with old magazines, newspapers, dirty dishes, old clothing, and cardboard boxes full to the brim, the highly-detailed 1/6th scale models illustrate a collection of disturbingly realistic domestic spaces that have suffered from a neglectful homeowner. with the exception of some repurposed generic barbie toys and furniture, the items captured are all handmade by the artist to a painstakingly accurate level.
