I found the following quote in the Austrian newspaper Falter, which for me expresses the idea perfectly:
“I think it is time to remember: the vision of feminism is not a ‘female future.’ It is a human future. Without role constraints, without power and violence structures, without male alliances and the obsession with femininity.” — Johanna Dohnal
I enjoy working with newspaper material. For me, it is a form of quoting, but also a personal way of commenting. The media—or more precisely WHAT and especially HOW something is communicated publicly—strongly shapes public perception and the general mood within society. AND: it also has a lasting influence on our own worldview, whether we want it to or not.
For this AR installation, I use sentences that Johanna Dohnal could have said. At the same time, they are meant to be sentences with which viewers can identify, or at least that encourage reflection. All sentences begin with “I” and relate to role models, self-perception, external perception, expectations, desires, attributions, and self-definition.
