Everything is beautiful in fairy tales. Snow White meets her prince, Jasmine meets Aladdin, the woodcutters free Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother from the wolf's belly, and so on. But what is next, the tales do not say. But all these heroines, first of all, are people! And their life after the happy ending of the fairy tale can turn out in different ways. This is what a series of photographs by Canadian artist Dina Goldstein called "Fallen Princesses" is about.
Fairy tales usually end well. But what next, cunning storytellers prefer to remain silent. After all, after the victory of good over evil, the victory of love over circumstances, the harsh truth of life begins. For example, Snow White's husband may turn out to be an ordinary lazy person, who will be more interested in TV and beer than his wife and four children. And Snow White with great longing will remember the carefree holiday life with seven diligent dwarfs.
Cinderella, too, can have a hard time coping with the pressure being put on her, a simple country girl by a demanding royal family. And so she may well cope with stress somewhere in the eatery closest to the palace with the help of double whiskey.
And cutie Belle from Beauty and the Beast won't find it easy to maintain her beauty after thirty-five. Therefore, she will have to go to bed under the scalpel of plastic surgeons almost every year. Her husband is also a real monster. And in a fit of jealousy, Belle can teach bruises and abrasions.
In Baghdad, where the action of the cartoon Aladdin takes place, an endless war has been going on for many years. And therefore it would not be surprising if the beautiful Jasmine is now running somewhere on the dunes with a submachine gun, fighting the American "liberators".
And Little Red Riding Hood will surely have nerves after the wolf story. Therefore, she will gradually switch from pies to an even more high-calorie fast food from McDonald's and grow fat so that even a wolf will not covet her now.
The prince may not wait for his sleeping beauty to wake up. So he will spend the rest of his days in a nursing home, hoping to the last that one day she will open her eyes.
The little mermaid Ariel, without explaining to her lover, will go to work in the city aquarium.
Rapunzel, famous for her long golden braid, will lose her hair. Anyone can get cancer.
And the princess and the pea may even end up in a landfill. Who needs it with such inflated demands in everyday life?
These are the real stories of fairytale heroines. Life is a merciless thing.
