Failed dreams of Dina's Goldstein "Fallen Princess"

What if Happily-Ever-After Doesn’t Happen???

The one thing you could be sure about in childhood was that every fairy tale would end with a “happily ever after”... 

But what If fairy-tales were continued past this line, and we could learn what actually happened to the beautiful princesses and their knights?Photographer Dina Goldstein facing modern problems with Disney icons in “Fallen Princesses” photos series.



"The series creates metaphor out of the myths of fairy tales, forcing the viewer to contemplate real life: failed dreams, addiction, obesity, Cancer, the extinction of indigenous culture, pollution, war and the fallacy of chasing eternal youth. By embracing the textures and colors created by Walt Disney, which built a multi-billion dollar empire exploiting these fairy tales, Fallen Princesses exposes the consumerism that has negated the morality of these ancient parables. It also begs the question, “How do we define the concept of ‘good’? and how do we live a ‘good’ life?”
