This artwork was created with the intent of questioning the representation of female victims of sexual violence in the medias. Investigating the story of five famous women and the media coverage following the accusation of their partners, I tried to get a better understanding of how the low denunciation rate can be linked to the treatment of the victims in the news. Dehumanization of the victim, erasure of certain facts, repetition of minor information, blur of the original story... I applied the same process to the images of the victims used by the medias to illustrate the problem.
