‘In A Parallel Universe’: Eli Rezkallah Will Not Let Sexist Advertising Slide

‘In a parallel universe’ is a photography series by Eli Rezkallah that sheds light on the casual sexism of old school advertising.

By recreating these scenes with a twist, the New York-based Lebanese artist sparks a conversation about outdated gender roles in a humorous way. As the photographer puts it:

‘Last thanksgiving, I overheard my uncles talk about how women are better off cooking, taking care of the kitchen, and fulfilling ‘their womanly duties’. Although I know that not all men think that way I was surprised to learn that some still do, so I went on to imagine a parallel universe, where roles are inverted and men are given a taste of their own sexist poison’.

Eli Rezkallah is a photographer, video director and visual artist. He launched his own creative studio in 2007. In 2009, he created Middle East’s first visual publication in 2009, Plastik Magazine.
