ROULETTE
2014
According to data released by the South African Police service from 2017/18, a woman is murdered every 3 hours in South Africa.*
In Roulette, a stream of amplified static is punctured once every 3 hours by an ear-ringing recording of a point-blank revolver gunshot. Stepping onto the domestic ‘welcome’ mat, those who risk listening-in open themselves to a more embodied, implicating and potentially harming relation to this statistical abstraction of feminine death.
