CARNIVAL
QUEENS
We live in a period of time where Beauty Queens and Miss Contests are not really popular anymore due to the exploiting character of them.
There was a time though that competing and winning these contests was a great honor and achievement.
Kessels found an archive of Carnival Beauty Queens in the Tipton community center and recreated in an installation a similar carnival atmosphere with the images of the former Queens. The idea of this multi media installation in the West Bromwich Townhall is to relive this atmosphere once more and let the former Queens shine again.
