The Project Room SEXUALLY EXPLICIT CONTENT, curated by Diego Sileo, presents the preview of Silvia Giambrone's new work Everyday dicks: a very strong, violent and disturbing video installation telling the story of a sexual harassment suffered by the artist herself via the web.

In the words of the artist: “Receiving a ‘dick pic’ is not considered much these days. It happens everyday to many people (both women and men) and it seems it has almost become  a social phenomenon that is not even considered outrageous anymore as we are so domesticated to pornography that we tend to forget it is eventually a harassment what we are talking about.
The stalker I’ve had for more than a year sent me 46 videos of himself masturbating and wrote horribly gross things to me. When telling people about that I realized just a few of them took what was happening seriously.”

Everyday dicks is a provocative work that triggers a wide reflection upon the power of pornographic images in our society inviting the audience to consider carefully the big impact they have on the reality we live in.
