The Emancipation of Judy Robert Lang

The self-portraits depict Judy in a very intimate and vulnerable state as the subject of self-awareness is questioned. Judy has only ever been known as a blow up sex-doll. She is the epitome of the anti-feminine object but hope to reflect in this series, a softer and more natural side not shown. Offensive to women but also offended by men she is considered 'problematic' but she too feels the strain of body issues like all of us. The photos portray who she is and who she wants to be as she was stripped of this choice when she was created. Judy has only ever been treated as a sexualised possession and like anyone else feels to need to be desired but was made to be your sexual fantasy and a product of capitalism. "Do I have no desires? Am I not good enough?" she questions.
