Solo Exhibition against sexual Violence

HOME | 2020
Steel | wood | bed covers | sheets | pillows | metal headboards | 200 x 200 x 330 cm
HOME should be a place of safety and retreat, trust and tranquility. But war, terror and violence force people to leave their HOME or it transfers to a place of fear, pain and horror. Many women and children and other vulnerable groups are humiliated, controlled and disempowered and devalued even in peaceful times. If HOME is out of balance, they are existentially threatened, especially if they choose the path to freedom. In times of particular strain, these existing processes are magnified and multiplied. Not only does the contempt for women dramatically increase, but also racism and homophobia.

VOICES | 2019
Video | 10:20 min
Speaking is often in conflict with different interests. When, why and what women express depends on many factors and is also country- and culture-specific. Values are an important reference, as is safety. It’s a thin line whether the raised voices are resonant and impactful or fall silent again.
BOOKS | 2019
The two books contain all texts read in the video VOICES by women from Switzerland, India and Zimbabwe
