Visual Communication

This project investigates artistic, multifunctional, and connotative aspects that innocuous objects and everyday gestures have when put into political contexts. It aims to juxtapose how they perform when located in two distinct spaces with drastically different levels of privacy, domestic and public, from the contextualisation of that space and the modification of their appearances. It is inspired by the concept of laughtivism which focuses on the use of absurdity and nonviolence as protest tactics. By taking advantage of the universality of visually perceivable satire and its ability to lessen the presence of language barriers, it emphasizes how artistic practice can act politically as a form of civil disobedience.
