Art history is filled with attempts to deceive the eye. Seeking mimesis, artists develop tricks to make the illusion perfect. This movement inspired Michael Augustin to bring together two separate worlds which rarely interact: the world of adults and the world of toys. The fifteen photographs, featuring games of illusion and perspective, show Barbie playing pool, Barbie skating, Barbie getting a tattoo, Barbie turning tricks, Barbie committing suicide, and so on.
