Following the general smoking ban in Belgium and the shocking you tube video of the two year old Indonesian boy who chain smokes 40 cigarettes a day , Frieke Janssen cleverly produced these disturbing images of young 'cute' children smoking to evoke a reaction on her idea that grown adults are being treat like children. Minus the smoking content the pictures are executed beautifully and i think they portray there message perfecting. Using the children adds the shock factor to work which in a twisted way is pobbably the reason i like them as a series so much, its surreal. I wonder that if i use children in my work ,would that add more visual interest to my piece? But as i have mentioned before i would like to keep this piece light heated would adding children make the matter that i am addressing more serious and like Frieke Jannens work , disturbing.
I have noticed that Frieke has also realised a video of the making of her images. Shes added music and images of her taking the images , getting the children ready ect. Could my video be of me creating my video. Giving it a second prospective?
