Clementsport Antiques


	The doll is actor and drama. The tradition of the bourgeois doll is reversed: as a rule dolls translate known social and dramatic roles into private fantasies, helping to form a conventional personal identity. Friederike Mittellehner's dolls, by contrast, translate fantasies of possible identities into newly defined roles. The expressions and gestures of the creatures are the performance. The costumes and elaborate ornaments they wear are like the stage sets - the backdrops- except they too are an expression of the beings themselves. It is up to the individual viewing the work to make their own relationship with it, and to come up with their own interpretation. View more dolls
