Barbitch
An Artistic Sex Version Of A Barbie
.
.
Barbitch is a doll designed by an artist Carmen Gomez, born in Switzerland. She made her own version of a Barbie girl in a few different styles: a nun, a devil, a nurse, a terrorist etc. It is a provocative approach towards the world of toys, which are very often very sexual and also the subject of femininity. Women are frequently being treated not as entire human beings (body and soul), but mostly in a sexual way, like toys. They are taught not to be too clever or to pretend so and expose their sexual values instead of their broad mind. Children think that playing with a Barbie, which is a substitute of a grown up woman, is fine. As adults we often have serious problems with approaching females seriousely, speaking about them without abusive words and not trating them and their bodies like sex toys. Carmen's artworks also show that there is a sexual side of hard and tough women, even terrorists. The project is provocative. Barbitch exhibition was presented at Fumetto Comics Art Festival in Luzern, Switzerland.

Every Generation Got Its' Own Disease
.
The more we take the less we give
That's the modern way to live
And someone says live fast die young
But the time runs always faster son
Diseases come diseases go
Welcome to the final show
Let's shake hands with plastic gloves
And watch out for the last white doves
And believe me, baby, every generation's
Got its own disease
I've got mine, so help us plese
I think that I'm to young to die
Love that girl and say goodbye
Change the girls like underware
Using bodies without care
The love has gone and what we've got?
A sweet perfume of sex and blood
And believe me, baby, every generation's
Got its own disease
I've got mine, so help us plese

People often ask me to explain what particular artworks are about, what was the artist's message, as they don't understand it cearly. For me privately Carmen's dolls are in a way about the same thing as Fury In The Slaughterhouse song Every Generation Got Its' Own Disease. I've always loved the clip and the lyrics. It is about the modern way of living and the philosophy of taking more, giving less and a particular approach towards body and sex without emotions or love, which is as often glorified, as criticised.
