37 women from the public sphere, art, culture, media, sport and society have been photographed on glass since 2024 by Iris and Erik Diewald-Hagen as part of their project HEADSHOT, an art project about femicides in Austria, using the historical wet collodion process. Each of them stands in for one or more women who have fallen victim to a femicide in Austria since 2022.
After the photograph was taken, each glass plate was deliberately altered, in some cases destroyed, and placed in direct relation to the documented murder weapon or means – the violence physically inscribes itself into the image. Each work is a handmade unique piece: singular, not reproducible, fragile.
With portraits of, among others, Proschat Madani, Stefanie Reinsperger, Barbara Karlich, Irmgard Griss, Katharina Straßer, Lilian Klebow, Michaela Kirchgasser and Teresa Vogl.
