Description

As part of a UNICEF project, the artist travelled through Thailand and Cambodia. Once in these countries, it became impossible for her to overlook the everyday physical, sexual and psychological violence perpetrated by so-called sex-tourists on local children. In alles wird gut the media artist presents photographs of fictive scenes of sexual violence she had staged with plasticine figures in dolls houses. With these child-like miniature spaces and her guerrilla art actions in public spaces, the artist seeks to emotionally move both observer and victim. The objective of this artistic work is to appeal to those persons in a position to actively work against child abuse.
