Publisher's Synopsis
Apricot Poodle investigates imitation as a mechanism of social belonging by following a series of families from different socioeconomic backgrounds who converge in choosing the same breed and color of pet. The apricot-colored poodle becomes a symbol of distinction, and depending on its meaning for each family-whether as a reflection of their lifestyle or a significant financial effort-its appearance and care vary across different neighborhoods in the city. The project invites reflection on the complexities of social dynamics, revealing how, even under a veneer of similarity, hierarchies and divisions persist, shaping collective identity.
