Until We All Are Free reflects on oppression as an interconnected system. While forms of discrimination and domination differ, they share structures in which certain lives are assigned less value than others.
The installation focuses in particular on the exploitation and objectification of nonhuman animals. Their confinement, use and killing have become normalised within everyday systems of consumption and profit, despite their capacity to experience fear, pleasure and pain.
The work asks what allows such systems to persist, and what it means to extend ideas of liberation beyond the human.
No one is free until we all are free.
The installation, “Until We All Are Free”, is part of the group exhibition “30 JAHRE GALERIE; 3 KÜNSTLERINNEN” at Gallery Daeppen in Basel, 2021.
