Baddies is an ongoing photo series that surveys fictional female monsters and the cultural anxieties they embody. Each pairing creates a dichotomy between two actions: one seemingly innocent and the other more provocative. By placing these behaviors side by side, the series points to the ways women are demonized regardless of whether they conform to or deviate from expectations of “acceptable” femininity. Through humor, exaggeration, and the visual language of horror, Baddies embraces the female monster as a means of examining the contradictory standards used to define, judge, and control women.
