Graduation project
Legal Reparation
Viktória Kaslik
The legal system is a human design that also designs and acts on us: the legal codes become internalized and absorbed by the collective body. Viktória Kaslik studied law before turning to design to explore alternatives to the current monist system based of retributive justice, including pluralist legal systems based on restorative justice. The result of a collaboration with dancer Márcio Kerber Canabarro, Legal Reparation is a film visualising how the current retributive justice system affects our collective and individual bodies. The proposition made is that when the collective body is not able to be represented in its wholeness, it remains ill.
