In this body of work, Ostermann explores digitization and creation of pop cultural images of femininity. As someone who sometimes works within the music industry, she is interested in the intersection of reality, digital reality, and hyper produced imagery through mainstream pop outfits (i.e., major record companies, advertising agencies, specific designers, etc.) and how these images create a communal dissertation of pop femininity to be consumed at rapid fire online and replicated in the real world. Further, using decades-old images of pop stars, cheesecake pin-ups, dead princesses, or out-of-date imagery, the work invokes non-linear notions of time, nostalgia, and the future through compressed and collaged digitally-collected images.
