To put it simply, Daniela Edburg makes kitsch and beautiful photographs of women murdered or to be killed by consumer goods. She said that the work is by no means critical. The most rudimentary reading Marxist would say that these beautiful ladies are imprisoned for his own obsession with these products capitalists, predominantly post-NAFTA, such as Miss Clairol, Pandit, Tupperware, Nutella and Canderel. If these girls are not dead, you will see, are virtually dead by their total dependence on those articles.
