ONE IN FOUR

Work displayed at the Edmond de Rothschild Center Gallery as part of the “Miscellaneous“ exhibition.

Since the onset of the Corona pandemic, one in four women has reported feeling less secure in her home. The many lockdowns forced women in violent relationships to be imprisoned in their homes with men put them in danger. In this work, I designed a pattern which consists of several layers, with the forth element in each layer highlighted so that the entire pattern functions as a cyclical system with an internal logic. The result is a kind of infographic that illustrates the shocking statistics of “one in four”. Yet, unlike charts and graphs that aim to make information accessible in a convenient and immediate way, here the data is encoded, deeply embedded, disguised as a kind of optical illusion, in order to reverberate the complicity of the silence and concealment that surrounds domestic violence.
