Anna Friemoth violates each of the '10 Commandments' in her biblical photography series of the same name.
Judging by these photos, I think it's safe to say that she and God are not on the best of terms. Lucky for her, the Christian interpretation of our Holy Creator is a forgiving, benevolent one.
Friemoth's sinful self-portraits place the ancient statues in a more modern context, resulting in absolute hilarity. Perhaps the most interesting development in the series is the way in which it illuminates conventional character tropes. The diva, the Vixen, the Party Animal and the Fashionista are all accounted for and dutifully represented. Friemoth transforms into each character with ease and wit, while simultaneously displaying all the vices of our modern world.
