HYPOTHESIS
Director & theater maker Jeroen Kriek and artist Machteld Aardse started the project on femicide ‘No Estamos Todas’ (We are not all here) at Casa Snowapple Mx in 2023 during the Jardin Rouge Festival. “Through analogue light projections and based on interviews with family members we attempt to make the invisible visible again and wish to bring light in the souls of the left behind. In addition we created an analogue apocalyptic scenography with analogue projectors.”
Conclusion
We aimed and successfully worked with the community of mothers, sisters and survivors of femicide attacks. Especially for Snowapple Collective we designed an analogue ‘apocalyptic large scale slide’ and projected this in combination with analogue found waste material for the overhead projections in order to create an apocalyptic scenography in pure light. We call this instant projecting. The material is collected on the location; the main image was inspired by a large oil painting in a Franciscan Church in the city center of Mexico City.
