MATRIARCAT — STUDIO ALB 00

Matriarcat is a visual work built around the reversal of roles, power structures, and symbolic codes through the lens of 20th-century aesthetics.

The intention is not simply to replace men with women, but to reinterpret the entire cultural system attached to these figures of authority: posture, hierarchy, styling, ritual, control, group dynamics, and the performance of power itself. By shifting all of these codes together, Matriarcat explores how dominance, legitimacy, and mythology are visually constructed.
