"Sexuality is a central element in the organisation of human life."
– Freud
By the age of 11 or 12, many children are already engaging in sexual activity. Not out of awareness, maturity, or choice, but as a direct consequence of the cultural noise they are immersed in daily.
From TikToks with overtly sexualized choreography, to mainstream films and series saturated with explicit scenes, this flood of sexualized messaging is constant, normalized, and increasingly aggressive.
Children and teenagers absorb it long before they understand it. They imitate what they see without any foundation of what it means to have a healthy, emotionally grounded relationship. We live in a society that screams about mental health, yet systemically undermines it. This installation confronts that contradiction:
Composed of 20 screens, each one plays a looped video (between 6 and 20 minutes) featuring real life sexualized content: magazine covers, video game clips, film and TV excerpts, advertisements, song lyrics, and more.
There is no filter. No comfort. No safe space. Just a raw, relentless stream of the very images shaping young minds today.
The structure is designed to evoke the Red Light District windows of Amsterdam,
but here, the object on display is not sex. It’s complicity. Ours.
