The website www.moma.org wrote "For this series, the artist juxtaposed pictures of herself culled from her private albums with commercial ads clipped from the pages of popular magazines and newspapers. One part of each pair depicts Iveković through distinct periods of her life, enacting for the camera different poses, while the other part shows models advertising in women’s magazines such as Elle, Grazia, Brigitte, and Svijet. If you look closely, you will notice that sets are paired on the basis of similarities in appearance, gesture, props, locations, and situations. All images are dated, making clear that in most cases the artist was not simply mirroring media constructs of femininity but in fact was predating them—many of her remarkable self-portraits were taken before those in the ads to which they are matched. Probing mass media and its identity-forging potential with a sense of criticality, Iveković offers in this series an investigation of representation by exploring her own life retroactively." about her Double Life Series.
The images below I found from this website
The images above could be related back to my project with Disney, as the actors in the character costumes are trying to mimic the characters that they're trying to portray from Disney films. This is like what Ivekovic has done using herself and pictures from women's fashion magazines. As Ivekovic has used facial expression, gesture, and pose for her images the actors have done this with the Disney images that I will be doing for my project.
