Femicide

by
Maritini Aresti

Femicide is understood to involve intentional murder of women, but broader definitions include any killings of women or girls. The work presents a series of images that satirize today’s patriarchal society, comparing it to that of the Middle Ages. The work presents three versions of AI images. The AI image generator was asked to create images of abortion-infanticide due to the sex of the baby, femicide of young women by their partners, and married women with families murdered by their own husbands. The work is accompanied by the video of the Open Orchestra of Greece called “Τραγουδάμε δίχως φόβο” (We Sing Without Fear).
