For her senior thesis at the Rhode Island School of Design, photographer Jill Greenberg created a multimedia presentation called “The Female Object,” a project wherein she argued that the panoptical male gaze has become fully incorporated into female consciousness. Her “End Times” series drew on the raw distress of crying children as a means to illustrate the macabre ethos of fundamentalist Christianity and its impact on domestic and foreign policy alike.
Greenberg’s newest set of photographs, “Glass Ceiling,” features members of the United States Olympic Synchronized Swim Team in the reasonable setting of a pool but with the unreasonable addition of high heels. The images focus on the interrelated themes of femininity, the marketplace and the uncomfortable implications of a world in which the former remains a commodity to be sold within the latter.
