installation made of copper, Iron, 938 bullet shell casings

2025

​

This room installation was shown in March 2025 during Lange Nacht der Museen  in Stuttgart, in a former brothel in the city’s red-light district. The installation consists of 938 bullet casings, that address the 938 attempted and reported femicides in Germany in 2023. The bullet shells are formed into flowers, symbolising the flowers women are often gifted by men who, statistically, are the most common perpetrators of lethal violence against women: intimate partners and ex-partners. The work highlights the patriarchal structures that enable violence against women while turning a blind eye to domestic abuse.
