Power structures can be found everywhere – sometimes very clearly and sometimes only subliminally. Pictures and stories from the past (HER VIOLET KISS) show clear power structures between man and woman (GRANNY’S SEXUAL LIFE). One can feel powerless at work because one is forced by one’s employer to continue working at the supermarket checkout (L’EFFORT COMMERCIAL), or one can feel trapped in a job as if in a goldfish bowl (THE ORDINARY ELI). Power structures can also exist in friendships (ORTHODONTICS) and no matter how tough you are as a skinhead, if you can’t accept yourself, you still remain powerless (STAGNANT).
