Abstract

As an analysis of the doll’s materiality, this paper examines the relation between outer shell and volume as essential characteristics of the doll. This relation is especially interesting regarding the inflatable doll. The Film Air Doll (2009) by Hirokazu Kore-eda and Clemens Krauss’ Mixed-media-installations Large Self-Portrait (2009) and Self-portrait as a child (2017) serve to analyze the material composition of the inflatable doll while exploring the underlying cultural concepts. With the following result: in these examples, the inflatable doll serves to question the materiality of personality.
