Lolita in the media

This exhibition will adopt four media items:

  • a cover photo of a Chinese translation of Lolita taken by myself
  • a screenshot of the movie version of Lolita in 1962
  • a screenshot of the movie version of Lolita in 1997
  • an advertisement for Marc Jacobs perfume, oh Lola! (2011)

To show how media affected public perception of Lolita, causing people to believe that the novel promotes pedophilia and the sexualization of children.
