Two words are printed on top of each other on a special surface. Depending on the angle of the viewer, one or the other word is seen. Pairs of words are taken from the media space.\u2028\u2028 Originally meant to be inoffensive and polite, euphemism has become an instrument of commercial, political, and postmodern doublespeak. The danger of doublespeak is that it obfuscates the real meaning. The unstable quality of prints signifies the ambiguity of language.\n\nExamples of euphemisms to be used in the project:\n\ncorrectional facility\u2014prison \ncivilian deaths\u2014collateral damage\ngenocide\u2014ethnic cleansing\ntorture\u2014enhanced interrogation techniques\nvertically deployed anti-personnel device\u2014bomb\nadvertising\u2014sponsored content\nwar\u2014conflict\ndownsizing\u2014firing employees\nlie\u2014misspeak\nproblem\u2014issue\nunemployed\u2014between jobs\nracially-charged\u2014racist \npropaganda\u2014public diplomacy\ninflammatory language\u2014hate speech\nrevenue\u00a0enhancements\u2014raising taxes\nalt right\u2014white supremacist\nmass surveillance\u2014bulk collection\ndecline\u2014negative growth\nterminate\u2014kill\nfriendly fire\u2014shooting your allies\n\nThe size of each plate is 35x50 cm. \nIn total 40 plates will be made (on photos half of them are ready (20 of 40). \n10 plates in length and 4 in width (taking into account the distance between plates) = 527x147,5.\nPlates are mounted to the wall using double-sided adhesive tape.","space":"This work requires a wall about 10 meters long.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Ekaterina \"Katja\"","surname":"Pilipenko","email":"kpilipenko@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"72 0531900","address":"Berliner Tor, 3, 15.01.A","city":"Hamburg","nacionality":"russian","country_id":"61","birthdate":"1989-02-25T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1989-02-25T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+4915902140924","web":"katjapilipenko.com \/ IG katjapilipenko","fileCount":5}
