Working on shame is a collection of the visuals of shame. To collect those moments of shame I turned to literature and interviews with different people. I then created an “archive of shame” in this specific context, which was the starting point for the collection. It includes gestures, reactions, similarities in situations and the collection of shameful clothes or signifiers of shame that are commonly known and readable.
