The project consists of using the digital space of the Instagram social network, to work on the context of women in war, taking as an example the war in Ukraine, and criticizing their anonymity. It is an appeal to the lives of women in wars that is always invisible. I am transforming the space of Instagram to affect its main function: to show the world photographs of people. In this case, I work on the political context of the war and the experiences of women in it, where they are often in the background, they are almost invisible.
To recreate this invisibility, for thirty days I set out, one publication a day, news related to women and the war. The photograph that accompanies these texts will always be the same, an out-of-focus image where the phrase invisible girl appears, as a criticism of how invisible women are in the context of war.
Make women visible in war with their invisibility on one of the most popular social networks I am trying, on the one hand, to transform the digital space (Instagram) and, on the other hand, to confuse the public that uses it often because it does not find descriptive photography and therefore an image of who or who these women are cannot be created.
How war affects half of world society, that is, women. The consequences that this conflict has on all women, whether you are occupied or on the enemy side, even among female photojournalists and journalists themselves. Women are a vulnerable part, along with the elderly and children. Generally, most of us do not fight but are at home suffering the war or we have to flee. With the war, the danger of rape and mistreatment of women increases, and if you leave the country, you can be deceived by pimps. Echoing these experiences and making them visible is the main idea of the project because unfortunately, women are invisible in any war context.
