Trapp DominikaOn Violence, 2023Budapest Gallery

The On Violence group exhibition was connected to the erection of a public monument commemorating

women who were raped during war. The  exhibition did not focus exclusively on wartime violence, but

addressed violence against women more broadly.

       In my works, I explore the relationship between traps and infrastructures, drawing on the theory

that conceives of infrastructure as the extended operation of a trap—not merely as an instance of momentary

violence, but as a mechanism of environmental shaping and world-making. The works depict the dynamics

of lived situations that can be described through a model of entrapment within a familiar landscape.

       These situations primarily include various forms of oppression occurring within the home, emerging in

conditions of intimate proximity, as well as the socio-cultural context that sustains them, which may be understood

as the broader landscape under examination.
