Ute Faber: Apostrophe

Ute Faber shows us her gender-political perspective with the apostrophe.

This artwork is part of our campaign "Perspective matters". With start'19 in mind, we asked artists what they saw in the apostrophe from our event logo – or if it even is an apostrophe in their eyes. The responses to this call for entries revealed a multitude of perspectives that we want to share with our readers. More information about the campaign can be found HERE. 

Ute Faber's artwork replaces the heel of a high heel with the apostrophe and thus poses the question: What kind of perspective does a heel actually make?  How would I see the world in these shoes and does the apostrophe also point to the gender gap in our society?

Are you inspired by this perspective? Don’t hesitate to show your own, then! To get you started we have prepared a craft template – download it HERE. As part of our campaign, we want to encourage everyone to look at their own perspective and maybe re-think it. While making such a small sculpture, you have the best opportunity to turn both things around: the paper sculpture and your own perspective ... we're curious to see what comes out of it!
