The Woman and Her Rifle

Digital

2021

This project is an exploration of the representation and objectification of women in western films. I analysed the exploitative nature of Hollywood through my images, adopting the common archetypes seen in westerns - the femme-fatale, the lover, the hero, the villain, the bad boy - all built from a flat foundation and recycled in each new film. The female star is seen as a catalyst for emotion, her purpose is drama and sex appeal; I want to challenge this idea, placing the woman in the man’s cowboy boots and directing my own realistically feminine film (in the still image).
