This thesis is a collaborative work of Tzalavreta Dimitra and Idamay. It is a visual illustration of the search for the functioning mechanisms of individuals and societies. The interest is focused on understanding and deepening questions about punitive, power, and penal strategies in capitalist realism.


The subject is essentially a case study through which viewers are invited to dialogue. To this end, “unseen” aspects of this social issue are presented, where interviews, discussions, and research act as references. The visual media was chosen to better serve the birth of reflection and discussion.


The thought structure and reflections of the two artists are complemented and enriched by works and texts such as those of Michel Foucault, Franz Kafka, Mark Fisher, etc. Utilising the theoretical tools of modernism and the freedom of postmodernism, the audience is invited to a discussion on issues that touch at the same time individual and collective attitudes.
