Arts / Teh Internets "Barbie Trashes Her Dreamhouse"

Posted by on Tue, Jan 3, 2012 at 1:44 PM

Shes a Barbie girl, in her Barbie world.
  • Carrie M. Becker
  • She's a Barbie girl, in her Barbie world.

Carrie M. Becker is a photographer and installation artist living in St. Louis, and Barbie Trashes Her Dreamhouse is her series detailing the dark hoarding life of America's plastic sweetheart. Just like the actual Hoarders, Becker's project draws you in with fascination and soon becomes depressing. This is as it should be. Good work.

See more of Becker's work here.

Good God, she has captured my mother's house in miniature. How the hell did she do that?!

She needs to park a fleet of 1/6 scale 1-800-GOT-JUNK trucks outside.

It's not really "Barbie" if everything's not in eye-scalding pink.
