Widening the Cycle:

A Menstrual Cycle & Reproductive Justice Art Show

Zeynep Ozkazanc

By analysing and categorizing, one can have the control on the other. Throughout history, mankind has used this power to give shape to ‘other’ one. In this work the meaning and process of Rorschach Test is distorted. Observer has to look at the menstruation blood on toilet paper instead of ink on paper. And the blood stain, from top to bottom, moves and loses it’s symmetry. In this case, this is not a test anymore, it’s a subject but not a tool to categorize someone which would be expected by Rorschach Test . As a subject this stain challenges only the observer’s aesthetic judgements. This stain has a laden memory about being abjected. Now it’s here shameless and unconcerned about mankind’s norms.
