Sarah Schiffman - MA Show 2018


Tales of the Boogeyman

Our seven sins

It sometimes seems that we do no longer feel responsible for our planet. We have developed complacent attitudes where the number of followers we have on our social media apps appears to be more important than issues of equality and human rights. Often, we celebrate the achievements and greatness of mankind but fall silent when an issue gets too serious. We should raise our voices for equality, social justice and become more aware of ourselves, our environment and the consequences of our consumption; but instead, we hate, fight, and exploit the weak. These are not fairy tales, those are the tales of the Boogeyman.

In my photoseries I combine fashion, symbolism and a satirical view on contemporary issues. I want to show the disconnection and a new interpretation of the seven deadly sins.
