In her Drop Dead Gorgeous series, artist Daniela Edburg makes kitsch photographs of women murdered or about to be killed by consumer goods. The women are obsessed with these products, and their over-indulgence leads or will lead to their untimely deaths.

Asked why she consumer goods had a sinister effect on the women in her photographs, Edburg says:

I guess I am pretty compulsive. That which gives me pleasure one minute, causes guilt the next. I am surprised at how much I like the products I consume, but, if you stop for one second to think about it, it’s absurd. Yet, you can’t stop. [The work] is not a criticism it’s just an exaggeration of my own reality.
