An authentic insight into menstruation beyond media aesthetics
TRIGGER WARNING
The following photoproject contains photos of menstrual blood.
Our bachelor graduate Franziska Lange shows in her participatory photo project HOW WE BLEED what menstrual blood actually looks like. The visual language clearly distinguishes itself from aestheticizing representations in the media and breaks with a taboo.
To this end, she collects anonymously submitted photos of menstruating women from which she creates a visual archive in the form of a bound book, an Instagram account and a website. The visual archive is constantly being expanded. Submissions are still possible.
The work has received widespread media attention, including interviews and articles in "Die Zeit", "Deutschlandfunk Kultur", "Vice-Magazine" and "Brigitte".
Supervision of the bachelor thesis:
