AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
On Rape, by Laia Abril, is a visualization of the origins of gender-based stereotypes and myths, as well as the failed structures of law and order that continue to perpetuate a culture of rape.
Abril cross-checks and interweaves testimonies collected, political proclamations, historical archives, popular and traditional beliefs, as well as the structural failures of society in addressing sexual violence. To avoid feeding systemic blame by society, Abril shifts the visual narrative from survivors to institutions, giving her the opportunity to address transgenerational trauma and social responsibility.
On Rape is the second chapter of Laia Abril's long-term project "A History of Misogyny," a visual investigation through historical and contemporary comparisons of the systemic control of women in the world.
Laia Abril is a research-based artist who works with photography, text, and sound. She focuses on long-term projects about uncomfortable and hidden realities around women's rights, pain, and biopolitics. She is the author of several award-winning books: The Epilogue (2014, Dewi Lewis), Lobismuller (2016, RM) and On Abortion (2018, Dewi Lewis) nominated for the Deutsche Börse Prize and winner of the Aperture-Paris Photo Best Book Award. She has exhibited in more than 15 countries and her work is in collections such as Centre Pompidou, FRAC, Musée de l'Élysée, Fotomuseum Winterthur, MoCP and MNAC. Her career has been recognized with the Prix de la Photo en Arles, The Hood Medal in London and the FOAM Paul Huf Award in Amsterdam, among others. Abril is represented by the Parisian gallery Les Filles du Calvaire.
