Collection
Gods Of Suburbia

This collection juxtaposes extraordinary figures with suburban life. Through a series of striking photographs, Goldstein questions contemporary beliefs by contrasting iconic gods and goddesses from various cultures with the mundane reality of suburban existence. This collection scratches the surface of our culture, revealing the aspirations, struggles, and desires of modern society against a backdrop that is both familiar and surreal.

In this series, Goldstein prompts viewers to reflect on the meaning and relevance of ancient myths and deities in our lives today, emphasizing the contemporary quest for identity, power, and purpose within the routines of suburban life. The clash between the divine and the profane highlights the universal human search for meaning and the desire to transcend everyday limitations. Gods of Suburbia challenges preconceived notions about divinity and encourages a deeper reflection on the nuances of the human condition in the modern world.

Dina Goldstein

Dina Goldstein's creative journey spans three decades, evolving from photojournalism to a bold exploration of narrative photography. Her work serves as a complex critique of societal norms, intertwining iconic cultural symbols and visual motifs with stories rooted in the essence of the human condition. Dina’s art, grounded in surrealism, unveils the complexities of modern existence, questioning dominant cultural narratives and entrenched ideologies that shape our perceptions.

Since 2007, Goldstein's artistic project, inspired by her personal reflections and a probing perspective on the conventional “happily ever after” narratives popularized by Disney and widely accepted in Western culture, has delved into the reimagined lives of fairy tale princesses through her series Fallen Princesses (2007–2009). As a feminist and mother of a daughter, she critiques traditional portrayals of femininity and childhood in Disney tales. Her portraits of princesses grappling with contemporary issues such as illness, addiction, environmental crises, and war resonated widely, leading to her winning the prestigious Virginia Prize in 2014, an international award for female photographers, and exhibiting her work across Paris, Quebec, and the United States.

Her next project, In The Dollhouse (2012), unfolds a narrative within a meticulously crafted life-sized dollhouse, where human versions of Barbie and Ken navigate the vicissitudes of life. This series illuminates the absurdity of pursuing unattainable standards of beauty and perfection, and the complex dynamics between appearance, authority, and contentment. It has gained international recognition, featuring in the Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera catalog of the Musee D'Orsay and becoming part of the FotoMuseo collection in Colombia.

With Gods Of Suburbia (2014), Goldstein ventures into the realm of religious iconography, portraying deities from various faiths grappling with the challenges of contemporary society. This work offers a provocative view of how ancient spiritual entities adapt to realities shaped by technology, science, and secular values, prompting the public to reflect on the enduring significance of traditional morals and beliefs in today’s world. The collection has enjoyed worldwide recognition, particularly The Last Supper, which drew significant attention in Italy.
