Blow-Up Dolls Are Hip

Designed by Sander Reijgers

"“The idea of doing something with blow-up dolls came to me after reading 'The Malady of Death' by Marguerite Duras. The main character of this novel is incapable of feelings for people, so he hires a woman hoping that sex with this woman will allow him to feel.

I do the exact opposite with my work: I remove the sexual function of the dolls by turning them into a jacket or a bag. In this way, the doll can 'feel' by performing a normal day-to-day task, rather than through sex. In daily life, we are bombarded through the media and advertising with images of especially female nudity to stimulate consumerism. -Sander Reijgers"
