pimp your stereotype! makes the user available to create his/ her own stereotype of the Turk and/ or German. The user can click the buttons and change the certain parts of body to define the look of his/ her stereotype.
The idea is to let the people face with the images of Turk and/ or German which they have on their mind and question these images in comparison to their own pre-acquired experiences and prejudices as well as to preconceived information from myths and mass media oriented images. Can we absolutely trust these images? Do we have to perceive them as real and accept them as facts?
Upcoming exhibition:
