Wolfgang Tillmans had always been interested in how to make a phenomenon longer visible. They could be astronomical, social, or political subjects, and as a photographer, he uses diverse strategies to recall them in our minds.

However, most of the Austrian public seems to be as unaware of the concept and its roots as the influencers we encountered before. “Most of the victims of manslaughter are still men!”, some may say in an attempt to debase the claim that femicides constitute a specific form of violence, and that this is a practice that only happens far away, in other countries, on other continents even. “It was only because he loved her so much!”, others might argue, or “I am sure that she provoked it!”, just falling short of “I am sure she deserved it!”
