Brief Explanation

On March 8th, International Women’s Day, a photo booth customized with facial recognition software was installed in Berlin’s busiest station. An algorithm detected when a woman was inside and applied bruises to one of the four photos – clearly mirroring the numbers of domestic violence. Each photo strip conveyed a message: “1 in 4 women in Germany are victims of domestic violence. Even if it’s not happening to you, it might be happening to someone you know. Don’t ignore it, come forward. We can help. Together we can #ChangeThisPicture” - along with the helpline number and Terre des Femmes website, where people could find information and counseling. The stunt was documented and released as an online video on Facebook and YouTube, in both German and English, so it could make a much broader audience aware of the shocking numbers of domestic violence in Germany and get people to take action.
