The hashtag #stayhome had by the time I made this piece 29.3 million posts in Instagram. Following the invitation by Umbigo Magazine to produce a new piece during the confinment period caused by the outbreak of coronavirus I propose a translation and interpretation of the word EXIT.
By proposing different languages (some of which used in the same country) and contexts, language used by specific groups I am simoultaneously suggesting and provoking the viewer.
