Ugly Girls

Ugly Girls by Nichole Nicholson

No one is sure who the artist is behind mouchette.org,  a net art piece that claims to have been crafted by a young girl who is about to turn 13. Dealing with issues of suicide, inapropriate parental relationships, and sexual maturation, this piece subverts the normalizing scripts for how we think of young girls, putting to question to idea of childhood innocence. The character Mouchette is based loosely off the 1967 French film of the same name.
